What should be
destroyed?
With new legislation becoming ever stricter and identity theft on the rise
it is wise to destroy just about everything that is generated and not on a
retention schedule. Here's a partial list of items that should be shredded:
- Bank Records
- Medical Records
- Insurance Documents
- Real Estate Documents
- Legal Forms
- Payroll Information
- Lottery tickets
- Maps and Blueprints
- Marketing Plans
- Personnel files
- Cancelled Checks
- Appraisals
- Applications
- Client Lists
- Customer lists
- Educational Reports
- Training information
- Bids and Quotes
What should we know
about selecting a shredding service?
The most important aspect of any service is to verify that they actually do
the destruction. One of the best ways to verify this is to contract a
company that is a member of the National Association of Information
Destruction (NAID) and is AAA certified. There are many companies who just
collect the materials, and may or may not properly shred the materials, then
give them to a recycling or do a variety of other things to cut their costs,
which ultimately lower the security of their service.
For one-time purge jobs can we keep the banker boxes?
Yes, we can purge small or large jobs on-site leaving you with peace of
mind.
What do you charge for service?
Our pricing is determined by pick-up location, volume of material for
destruction, and frequency of service.
What other type of material do you destroy in addition to paper?
For some of our client’s we destroy C.D.s, videos, tapes, and microfiche.
Should we remove paper clips, fasteners, staples, or binders?
NO. Our shredders are equipped to destroy the above-mentioned items with no
difficulties making for fast service.
Can you send someone out to our facility to make recommendations on
getting started with a destruction program?
We would be more than happy to send a representative to your facility and
make suggestions on frequency and the best location for containers.
Why don't you
charge by the minute, like other shredding companies?
Think about it. When you
pay by the minuted, your're actually giving the shredding company
incentive to move slowly. Our high -tech equipment can shred up to 3,000 -
5,000 pounds per hour faster than our "pay -by-the-minute competitors.
That means we can service a lot more customers per hour than the others and
pass the savings on to you
