Out-sourced shredding is more cost effective than in-house shredding.

It is very expensive to have your own employees shred paper with portable office shredders. Office shredders often shred between 6 and 15 pages per minute and suggest for each three to five minutes of operation, you let it cool off for a couple minutes. If you should be shredding over 2,000 sheets per month, you could be saving money by having an outside service shred your material. If you shred less than 2,000 sheets per month, you should consider a purge service.

You save money by using an outside document shredding company because:

• You don't have to pay your employees to shred the paper
• You don't have to purchase and maintain your own shredding equipment
• You don't have to remove paperclips and staples
• You don't have to clean up the dust from shredding
• You don't have to pay for the cost of disposal of the paper
