FAQ
On-site shredding services are a convenient and preferred way for businesses to dispose of expired, yet vital information. On-site shredders arrive at an office and collect the documents; they are brought to the truck where they are securely shredded by a trained professional. The on-site shredding process is reassuring and hassle-free; customers can observe the shredding process first hand.
This service is a great way for an organization to feel confident that its once vulnerable information has been properly eliminated. However, unlike on-site shredding – where you are able to watch the documents being destroyed, the off-site shredding process disposes of files out-of-sight from clients and doesn’t provide that same sense of assurance that on-site shredding provides.
It’s your choice! We can set up a regular schedule which is good if you consistently have a large number of documents that need shredding. Or you can schedule a one-time pickup whenever needed if that’s the option you prefer. Both have their advantages and should be based on the needs of your company.
Absolutely! Our on-site service ensures that your company will be shredding its documents in a safe and secure manner; meeting all federal and state compliance laws. We are constantly educating all of our employees on the laws and stay up-to-date with any new legislation that may affect how or what is shredded.
There’s a number of things you should look for when selecting a shredding company. First, find out if it provides on-site shredding or off-site shredding. You can ask if they are NAID certified. If yes, ask some questions about the service and rates. If they are not NAID certified, make sure they meet all Federal and State Laws regarding document destruction and how they do that. NAID certified shredding companies must shred in compliance with all those laws in order to get certified. Ask if the shredding company is environmentally friendly and recycles the paper afterwards. The important thing is to ask enough questions so you feel comfortable that your private and confidential files will be destroyed safely and securely.
You should always keep private and confidential files that are being disposed for shredding in a locked container. NEVER throw them in the recycling or garbage as this can be very dangerous. There are a large variety of containers with different styles and purposes. We can help you decide which bins or containers will be suitable for your business. In some instances we provide containers at no cost to the client.
