Bulk Quran & Kitab Disposal for Mosques, Madrasahs & Organisations
Mosques, madrasahs and Islamic organisations carry a trust that goes beyond a single household. When your storeroom holds boxes of old kitab, damaged mushaf and retired madrasah textbooks, the disposal must be done properly. And for an institution, it must also be documented.
ShredRite is a Muslim-owned Islamic disposal service based in Singapore. We provide Shariah-compliant micro-shredding to the DIN 66399 P-5 standard for institutions islandwide. Every institutional collection includes a certificate of disposal. This page explains how bulk collection works, what the certificate covers, how our partnership with Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique works, and how a standing arrangement can keep your storeroom from filling up again.
Who we work with
We serve the institutions that hold Islamic materials in volume:
- Mosques. Donated Qurans too worn to use, old Yasin books, khutbah notes, doa and tahlil booklets, and the storeroom backlog that builds up between committee handovers.
- Madrasahs. End-of-term clearances of workbooks, worksheets, exam papers and textbooks that carry ayat.
- Islamic education centres and providers (IECPs). Student materials, teaching notes and outdated syllabus stock.
- Islamic offices and organisations. Publications, reports, calendars and event materials with Quranic text.
- Publishers and distributors. Misprints, damaged stock and overruns that cannot be sold, but cannot simply be thrown away either.
If your organisation holds printed ayat in any form, we can collect it. You can see the full picture of what we do on our Islamic disposal service page.
The certificate of disposal
Every institutional collection comes with a certificate of disposal. This is standard for our mosque, madrasah and organisational clients. It is not an add-on and there is no extra charge for it.
The certificate documents:
- The collection date and your organisation's name
- The weight recorded at your premises, on our digital platform scale, in front of your staff
- Confirmation that the materials were destroyed by Shariah-compliant micro-shredding to the DIN 66399 P-5 standard, with particles smaller than 30 square millimetres
For a mosque committee, a madrasah board or an annual audit, this closes the loop. You can show exactly what left your premises, when it left, and how it was destroyed. At the P-5 standard, no ayat survives in readable form. The people who entrusted those materials to your organisation deserve that assurance, and so does the committee that signs off on it.
A documented handling chain
We keep the chain simple and visible from start to finish.
- You book a collection. Tell us roughly how much material you have and what kind. Photos of the storeroom help us plan.
- We come to your premises. We weigh everything on our digital platform scale in front of your staff. The weight on your invoice and certificate is a weight your own people saw.
- We transport the materials to our facility at 66 Tannery Lane, Sindo Building.
- We micro-shred to DIN 66399 P-5. Particles come out smaller than 30 square millimetres. Your certificate of disposal follows.
One honest note. We do not shred at your premises. Micro-shredding to the P-5 standard requires industrial equipment at our facility. The on-site weighing and the certificate are how we keep the chain accountable from your storeroom door to the final shred.
Our partnership with Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique
We work with Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique on a community give-back arrangement. Community members who book a collection through the mosque's referral generate a contribution back to the mosque's fund. The mosque decides where that fund goes.
We share this because it shows the way we prefer to work with institutions. We would rather be a long-term partner than a one-time vendor. A mosque that refers its congregation to a proper disposal channel is serving its community, and we believe the mosque should benefit from that service too. If your mosque or organisation would like to explore a similar arrangement, we are happy to talk it through. There is no obligation and no pressure.
Scheduling for large loads
Bulk collections need more planning than a household pickup. We schedule institutional collections on weekday slots, when our team can give a large load the time and vehicle space it needs.
For madrasahs, term-end is the natural moment. Workbooks and papers pile up fastest when a semester closes, and classrooms need clearing before the next intake. We can set a recurring term-end clearance, so the disposal happens on a calendar and not on somebody's to-do list.
For mosques and offices, many find it easiest to plan a slot before Ramadan or after a major event, when the storeroom is being checked anyway. Tell us your rhythm and we will fit around it. We collect islandwide across Singapore, so location is not a barrier.
Storerooms fill up quietly
Most institutional storerooms do not fill up in a month. They fill up over years. Donated Qurans arrive faster than they can be used. Boxes from a past kenduri or seminar stay unopened. Committees change hands, and nobody is quite sure what the boxes at the back contain, only that they hold ayat and cannot simply be discarded.
Some mosques run their own collection drives for the community, and for small quantities those can work well. Alhamdulillah, there is real care behind them. But when the volume runs into the tens or hundreds of kilograms, a documented, Shariah-compliant process with a certificate at the end takes the weight off your committee in more ways than one.
A standing arrangement, once or twice a year, keeps the storeroom manageable and the responsibility clear. Nothing accumulates, nothing gets forgotten, and each clearance is documented for the record.
Pricing for institutions
Our standard rates are the same ones we publish for every customer:
- $5.50 per kg for books and papers
- $7 per kg for frames and harder materials
- $20 booking fee per collection
As a worked example, a 20kg load of books and papers comes to $130 in total.
For bulk loads above 25kg, we quote individually. Volume, material mix and access at your premises (lift, loading bay, stairs) all affect the work involved, so a fixed rate card would not be fair in either direction. Email us a rough estimate of your volume, with photos if you have them, and we will come back with a clear quote. Our standard rates are explained in more detail on our pricing page.
What we accept
We collect the full range of materials that carry Quranic text or Islamic content: Quran and mushaf, kitab, madrasah textbooks and workbooks, Yasin books, doa and tahlil booklets, khutbah notes, Islamic calendars with ayat, framed ayat and calligraphy, wedding and kenduri cards with Bismillah, newspaper clippings with Quranic text, sejadah and telekung printed with verses, banners and posters with ayat, and cassettes and VCDs of Quran recitation.
Frames and calligraphy have their own considerations, from glass to backing boards. Our guide to framed ayat and calligraphy disposal covers them in detail.
Frequently asked questions
Do we receive a certificate of disposal?
Yes. Every institutional collection includes a certificate documenting Shariah-compliant destruction to the DIN 66399 P-5 standard, along with the collection date and the weight recorded at your premises.
Do you shred the materials at our premises?
No. We weigh the materials on our digital platform scale in front of your staff, then transport them to our facility at 66 Tannery Lane for micro-shredding to DIN 66399 P-5. The on-site weighing and the certificate keep the chain accountable.
How is bulk pricing handled?
Standard rates are $5.50 per kg for books and papers, $7 per kg for frames and harder materials, plus a $20 booking fee. Bulk loads above 25kg are quoted individually. Email us your estimated volume and we will provide a clear quote.
Can we set up a recurring collection?
Yes. Many institutions prefer a standing arrangement, such as a term-end clearance for madrasahs or a yearly storeroom clearance for mosques. We schedule institutional collections on weekday slots.
How does the Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique partnership work?
Community members who book a collection through the mosque's referral generate a contribution back to the mosque's fund. If your organisation is interested in a similar arrangement, contact us to discuss it.
