Increase Productivity
Using an in-office shredding machine is better than just throwing away documents in a waste basket but it cost you a lot more than you realize. These small shredders only shred a few pieces of paper at a time. You also have to remove staples, paper clips and rubber bands. All this takes time and you are paying one of your employees to waste hours and hours feeding the shredder. A professional shredding service can destroy in minutes what would take one of your employees days to do with one of those small shredders. Let them get back to work making money for your company, outsource your paper shredding.
Saving Your Business Money When You Use a Paper Shredding Service
Outsourcing your document destruction saves your business money. Locked security containers are provided for free and take the place of those store bought tiny shredding machines. Those machines get jammed and break often requiring them to be replaced often. The more your use them the more they will need to be replaced. Hiring a professional paper shredding company eliminates that. Just discard all documents in the containers provided and they are emptied for you on an ongoing schedule, preventing unauthorized access to your confidential information on documents.
Being Compliant
You can’t ignore your legal obligation required by privacy laws to protect confidential information. In addition to federal laws like Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA) that regulate and enforce standards for maintaining information privacy during the disposal process there are additional laws in every state.
A NAID AAA certified shredding service ensures that the destruction of your documents complies with the privacy protection standards outlined in these laws. A Certificate of Destruction further reduces potential liability risks for your business by providing proof of date, time and method of destruction.

If paper records aren’t properly destroyed, and they may fall into the wrong hands and they are used by identity thieves it will damage the trust your clients, employees and the community had in you and it may never be repaired.
