SECURE SHREDDING SOLUTIONS
Paper and Non-paper media

In addition to specializing in secure records storage, we offer secure shredding services. We have been awarded the AAA Certification by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID).  Our certification is the highest level of security.

Off-site and onsite shredding options are available based on your location. Shredding services can be scheduled as recurring service or as file purges and clean-outs. We also offer Community Shred Event services.

Contact us to discuss your shredding needs

 

SCHEDULED RECURRING AND PURGES

With our secure shredding method, a customer does not need to sort their paper materials by color or remove staples and paper clips. Offsite and onsite shredding services are secure and certified. However onsite shredding is available if your business requires records to be destroyed in your presence.

For recurring services, we install secure containers at your location and set up scheduled services based on the frequency you need. You can request the type and number of containers necessary for the size of your office or facility. We have two storage container options.
Security Console – It is 35” X 19” X 16” and holds approximately 75-100 pounds of paper. The front is a lockable door that is tamper evident. Other sizes may be available by request.
Security Tub – It is made of injected molded plastic for high strength and security and is 43” X 24” X 27”. It holds approximately 200-250 pounds of paper and has a two wheel axle for easy movement of the tub.

You can schedule purges or clean outs as an added or stand-alone service. Whether you have boxes or filing cabinets, our certified couriers can pick up the material. We will provide our tubs to transport the material if needed.

NON PAPER MEDIA DESTRUCTION

In addition to paper, we can also shred other media that contains sensitive information. Items include CD’s, floppy disks, tapes, and X-rays. If it has information that you need destroyed, call us to see if we can shred it for you. Hard Drive destruction and E-Waste Management are separate services, click either link for additional details.

COMMUNITY SHRED EVENTS

In addition to business and individual document destruction, we work with clients to host Community Shred Events. Events are open to the public or your clients. They are a good way to give back to your customers and help create awareness of and reduce Identity Theft.

DESTRUCTION OF ITEMS IN STORAGE

Most items in storage will eventually reach a retention date and destroying the wrong item, or failing to destroy the correct one, could be catastrophic. Our people and procedures are in place to ensure that when you contact us for destruction, the correct boxes are pulled, confirmed, and the information is destroyed to your compliance specifications. Only authorized contacts are able to request the destruction of your records.

Our trained staff is well-versed in industry-standard destruction principles. Our procedures are time-tested to check and double-check that the correct items are marked for destruction. If the destruction list is exceptionally long, we can schedule the destruction of your items to ensure they are destroyed in a timely manner but none before their retention dates. Our proven methods enhance the process and assure your destruction order is handled in an organized, thoughtful manner.

Our standard method of destruction for most records is NAID certified shredding. Since we store so many different media types including acetate and polyester microfilm, magnetic tapes, and hard drives, if we don’t offer the destruction method to meet your compliance needs, we also contract with third-party destruction services for more specialized methods.
