Sean Fredricks
Founder & CEO
Sean Fredricks is the founder and CEO of MedXwaste. He is an esteemed entrepreneur, business leader, innovator, and public speaker, with his finger on the pulse of highly regulated businesses including medical waste, hazardous waste and information destruction. Through MedXwaste, Sean and his team used their expertise to create a business model which meets the rigorous demands of compliance while supplying superior service and simplifies information in a meaningful way for both franchisees and their clients. Sean first entered the regulatory waste arena in 2005 when he successfully built Code Shred, at that time, the largest independent mobile and offsite paper shredding company in the tri-state area. Under his leadership, Code Shred was awarded the Inc. 500/5000 award in 2009, a prestigious award for being the 186th fastest growing business by Inc. magazine. Demonstrating over 1059% growth from 2006-2009, Code Shred was the 15th fastest growing company in the Pennsylvania, New Jersey and the New York area. Some of his past customers have included the Federal Reserve Bank, Social Security Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Corrections, among others. Today Sean is an owner of Legal Shred, a company that has operated since 2007. A mentor and advisor to many in the medical waste industry, Sean has served on the Board of Directors for a medical waste industry association and is a sought-after speaker for industry-related conferences and events.
From a young age, Sean was privy to the entrepreneurial world as he witnessed his father build a flourishing business. He knew this was what he was also meant to do. Bitten by the proverbial “entrepreneurial bug,” Sean thrives on helping other entrepreneurs develop their businesses as well. Although being a serial entrepreneur has always excited him, the part that has held Sean’s true enjoyment and purpose, helping others grow their business, was missing. With this in mind, he believes that franchising a business will align both his goals and those of the franchisees in creating successful businesses utilizing his knowledge and expertise in the fields of medical waste and shredding.

Judith Papo
Accountant
Judith’s experiences, first as a high school English teacher and then as a certified public accountant, give her a rare combination of an individual who both enjoys communicating and analyzing numbers. She, with her family, launched HV Shred in 2008 when her husband, Jeff began looking around at the possibility of outsourcing shredding at Tuminaro Pharmacy, of which he is co-owner. Seeing a need in the community for shredding and recycling resources, as well as an increased need for education regarding identity theft and protecting client information, Judith, Jeff, and her father in law, Fran, built HV Shred from the ground up.
When Fran retired in 2013, Judith and HV Shred moved into a new chapter with partner Jason Fredricks expanding into the Metro area with the dba Legal Shred as well as expanding into medical waste with Red Bags.
Judith continues to be a stalwart supporter of community and particularly fellow small business owners. She is a Rotarian and life-long resident of the Hudson Valley.
