WE SHRED, WHAT YOU DON'T WANT READ™ |
Do I have to remove staples, small / medium binder clips, paper clips, tape, or rubber bands ?
No, you do not remove those items
The following items should not and can not be shredded:
Large binder clips, 3 ring binders, plastic, carbon paper, cardboard, and metal.
Do you recycle the paper?
Yes, the paper is recycled after it is shredded.
Why should I use an outside service, rather than shredding the paper internally?
There are a number of reasons.
- First, it is almost always more expensive to shred in-house. See Cost Effectiveness for more information.
- The security of shredding in-house is also important. Much of what you want to destroy is probably confidential information you don't want your average or entry level employee to see, such as payroll information, business plans, etc.
How often will you come to shred documents?
We will come as often you need. We will interview you to determine your needs and then set up a schedule. We remain flexible as your needs change. If you have an exceptional one-time need, we will change the schedule to meet your needs.
How much are the containers?
The lockable security containers are provided to you FREE of charge, provided the container (s) are emptied and shredded at least once a month by us or a rental fee will apply.. You can choose from a variety of container types.
Why don't I just send the paper to a recycler?
You lose a certain amount of security when you send the paper to a recycler.
- Your confidential information is often hand sorted (graded) by recycling company personnel, which means they could take whatever information they want.
- Recycling services may use open collection containers which are accessible to anyone, staff, janitors, etc.
- Generally, the employees of recycling service companies are not security screened, bonded and insured
- Your paper is transported in the trucks in whole form, so that if an accident should occur, your confidential information is open to the public.
Our employees do not see any individual pieces of paper. The containers are taken to the truck and emptied into the shredding compartment mechanically. Our people do not hand feed the shredder. Everything is fully automated.
