WHY & WHAT TO SHRED?
Why Shred?
Consider that there are many opportunities for misuse , mishandling, exposure and even theft of your company’s valuable, confidential and proprietary information. That sensitive data can be printed onto Paper or magnetically recorded onto some sort of computer backup storage Tape or Hard Drive. Common sense and legal obligations require firms today, more than ever before, to protect, control and properly dispose of employees’ and clients’ private information.
Tens of billions of dollars are lost every year as a result of Identity Fraud. The facts are that more than two thirds of all Identity Theft is obtained off-line (dumpster diving, for example), where only slightly more than 10% is from on-line internet schemes.

MORE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD SHRED
- Legislative requirements both State and Federal. Read more here
- Shredding is recycling. All shredded paper is processed through paper recyclers to produce ‘Green Initiative’ recycled products such as copy and other print paper, paper towels, etc.
- Cost and efficiency in the office environment can be quite notable. Our mobile shredding systems will process up to 8,000 lbs. of paper per hour, hundreds of times the capacity of office shredders. Couple that speed with capability to shred binders, clip boards, fasteners, as well as computer tape, hard drives and more. The Mobile Data Shredding system will complete in minutes wat alternative in-house measures will require hours or even days to accomplish. Your internal purchase, maintenance, servicing, people time and mess involved with office shredders combined will exhibit that our production rate and capacity converts to immediate and substantial dollar savings for you in office equipment, time and productivity.
- Storage of your sensitive files and data in cabinets, closets, offices and warehouses causes substantial liability and possibility for unauthorized viewing, copying or even theft. A scheduled program to systematically rid yourself of these notes, forms, records and other data will free workspace, improve the general office appearance, and significantly reduce the possibility of security breaches.
- Security is enhanced using your out-sourced procedure with us. Locked containers placed strategically about your facility will allow employees to dispose of sensitive materials in one-way slots with confidence that no other personnel, internal or external will have opportunity to view, copy or steal. Our process ensures, through a ‘hands off’ automated system, that your documents, and data, are completely destroyed. We further enhance the security with ‘witnessed destruction’ by one of your staff as well as video monitoring of the entire shredding cycle.
- Our Certificate of Destruction issued on completion will provide you accountable proof that your data has been destroyed and acts as an audit and release of liability through your compliant security procedure.
