Why should my company shred documents?

You have a legal responsibility to keep sensitive customer and employee information from falling into the wrong hands. Businesses can no longer throw confidential documents away. Eliminating certain data in a timely fashion limits your liability in litigation and protects proprietary information from competitors. Our paper shredding service will securely eliminate confidential information.

 

Does it cost a lot to use a document destruction company?

Paper shredding is a non-revenue producing function that eats up valuable employee hours. When you consider how much it costs for one of your employees to do the job, you’ll find outsourcing this tedious task to Shred X will save you time and money.

 

How does Shred X mobile shredding work?

We provide on-site document shredding services using our state-of-the-art mobile paper shredding trucks. On days designated by the schedule you develop with us, our bonded drivers will arrive and shred on-site all materials collected from your Shred X consoles and bins. Our “hands free” shredding process means our employees do not directly handle your documents. The paper is deposited directly from the collection bins into the shredding compartment via the bin hoist on the side of the truck.

 

What else can you destroy besides paper?

Shred X’s powerful Shred-Tech MDS 35GT trucks will shred just about anything. We can and often do destroy paper clips, staples, binders, books, small amounts of discs, and CD ROMs in the regular paper shredding pick-ups.  When needed, we can destroy items such as hard drives, reel tapes, cassette tapes, and large amounts of plastics, discs, or CD ROMs when a special “product” run is requested.

 

Is a paper shredding schedule necessary?

By destroying records according to a set schedule, a company appropriately limits risk. Based on your company’s needs, Shred X will schedule a regular time—daily, weekly, monthly—to destroy and then recycle your sensitive material.

 

What do I have to do to prepare documents for destruction?

Nothing more than deposit them in the bins and consoles placed around your office. There is no need to remove paper clips, staples, or any other type of binding.

 

How secure are your containers?

We offer and maintain a number of different options in regards to lockable security containers. Choice of bin size and type is solely at your discretion and can be altered at any time during the engagement.

 

How much can you shred in an hour?

All of our trucks shred over 6,000 pounds of paper per hour.

 

Can I witness destruction of my information?

Yes. On-site monitoring is available through cameras installed in the paper shredding and collection compartments in the trucks.

 

Why don’t you offer off-site document destruction?

Given the risk associated with the transportation of highly confidential paper, Shred X does not offer off-site document shredding. Regardless of the amount of insurance the paper shredding company has, no amount of money will redeem the loss associated with the bad publicity of leaked information. Your information will not leave your parking lot until it is shredded.

 

Do you offer a certificate of document destruction?

We can issue a Certificate of Destruction form when records have been destroyed. The form will include method of destruction, amount of the disposed records, dates covered, statement that records were destroyed as part of the normal course of business, and signatures and names of individuals supervising and witnessing the destruction.

 

We can assist you with the security, destruction and recycling of your confidential documents.
