We have an in-house office shredder so why would I need your service?
It is much more cost-effective to deal with us. Amortization of a shredder, as well as labor, maintenance, and disposal cost, are usually much higher than expected – not to mention the noise, mess, and dust produced by an office shredder and the fact that employees need to separate paper, remove paper clips and staples, etc. In fact, we can guarantee a minimum of 25% savings when compared to the cost of using your in-house shredder.
We store our records so why do we need a shredding service?
The period of time that business records are stored should be determined by a retention schedule that takes into consideration the records’ usefulness to the business as well as legal requirements. From a risk management perspective, once this period has passed, the only acceptable way of discarding these records is to destroy them using a method that ensures complete destruction. Oftentimes, documenting the exact date and method used for destruction is not only prudent but a legal requirement.
Are the documents Recycled upon destruction?
Yes, we recycle 100% of the shredded documents. CDs and Non-recyclables will get incinerated.
