Paper Shredding FAQs

A: Using an office shredder to destroy your confidential documents isn’t reliable, secure or efficient. Most office shredders are limited to basic strip cutting, which enables documents to be reassembled by hand or using specialized software. An identity thief can steal bags of shredded material from your dumpster and reconstruct your confidential documents. We control the process until the paper is melted for recycling so your documents remain secure.

A: Yes. Anytime you have documents to purge, we pick them up and securely shred them for you. It’s easy: We can deliver a large quantity of security bins to your location for you to fill, or we can pick up your boxed records. It’s up to you!

 

A: Yes. If you need a scheduled shredding service where we regularly pick up your documents for shredding, we bring locked collection containers to your office into which you can drop whole files to be destroyed. On a scheduled you set, we collect the contents of your shredding consoles and securely destroy them, keeping your information confidential every step of the way.

A: No, these items are destroyed during the shredding process and any of the small pieces are later removed at the recycling center as the shredded paper is moved over magnetic augers.
