Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a document shredding service? Yes, you do need shredding services. A lot of businesses often make the mistake of assuming they can do the shredding on their own. However, shredding your own documents doesn’t provide the security needed for the task. Your clients’ and employees’ information should be handled privately and securely – which is why you should trust a third-party shredding service.
Isn’t it safer if I just ask my own employees to shred the documents? While this option may be cost-effective, it is also very risky. When you use your own employees for document shredding, it is a risk because they are likely knowledgeable about which materials contain sensitive information. When it comes to data destruction, the less a person knows about the documents, the better.

Can I just take documents directly to a recycling facility?

Though all documents end up in the recycling plant, the state in which they arrive matters. If you take them directly to a recycling plant without getting shredding first, you run the risk of exposing your data to the people at the recycling plant. It’s safer to get your documents shredded privately and effectively before they are taken to a recycling facility.
