Document Shredding
AHAS also provides shredding of confidential or sensitive business, class and department related materials. Document shredders are available at both Barker and Boylston locations for secure and confidential document destruction.
To ensure confidentiality, documents to be shredded must be hand-delivered to an AHAS staff member at either of our two locations. Please note, if you are from a small department, we also can coordinate pickup of large shredding requests as follows: For orders larger than 3 boxes, or orders containing hardcover-bound or plastic spiral-bound documents, please contact us to coordinate DataShredder pickup services. If you have any uncertainty as to whether your documents can be processed in our office or if they necessitate DataShredder services, please contact us in order to discuss the details of your shredding needs.
If boxed, documents to be destroyed should be clearly labeled. Please note that documents to be shredded cannot be left in a drop box nor picked up without a faculty or staff member present for confirmation.
Library Courier Service
AHAS Centers provide courier service to return books to Widener Library. Faculty may drop-off books to be returned at either of our two AHAS center locations. AHAS is not responsible for late fees nor do we guarantee same day return of books.
