Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to remove staples and paper clips before shredding?

No, you don't need to remove staples, paper clips, or binder clips from your documents before shredding. Industrial shredders used by professional shredding services are capable of shredding these materials along with the paper. This simplifies the document preparation process for shredding.
Do I need one-time paper shredding or a regularly scheduled paper shredding service?

Choosing between one-time and regularly scheduled shredding services depends on the volume and frequency of your shredding needs. One-time shredding is ideal for occasional, large-volume shredding tasks, often with express and priority services available for time-sensitive needs. Regular service is suited for ongoing, consistent shredding needs, where documents are collected over time and shredded on a scheduled basis. Regular service can be adjusted with additional pickups or containers as required.
Why do we need a shredding service if we store our records?

Storing records indefinitely can lead to unnecessary costs and risks of non-compliance. It's important to have a retention schedule to determine how long records need to be kept. Once this period has passed, documents should be securely destroyed to protect sensitive information and to ensure compliance with legal privacy requirements. Professional shredding services ensure secure destruction of documents that have outlived their useful purpose
Isn’t using a blue (recycle) bin enough for document disposal?

Using blue recycle bins for document disposal is not secure and can leave sensitive documents exposed to risk. People may sift through these bins and find confidential information. For secure disposal, documents should be placed in locked containers provided by shredding services. These containers keep the documents secure until they are professionally shredded, ensuring privacy and compliance with data protection regulations
Why should we outsource shredding instead of using an in-house office shredder?

Outsourcing shredding to a professional service is often more secure and cost-effective than using an in-house office shredder. In-house shredding involves hidden costs like employee time spent on shredding, and risks due to the inefficiency of strip-cut shredders which can allow documents to be pieced back together. Professional shredding services use cross-cut technology to ensure documents cannot be reassembled, providing a higher level of security
