Records management in Athens, GA
Storage is billed monthly and never finishes. At 50 to 95 cents a box, four hundred boxes cost somewhere between $2,400 and $4,600 every year, and the invoice arrives again whether or not a single lid comes off. Document scanning in Athens is charged once and then stops.
Seven in ten Georgia records projects are digitization for that reason.
Where the recurring cost actually sits
- Boxes referenced regularly — the rent is buying slow access to something you need quickly
- Boxes kept for a retention rule — genuinely cheaper on a shelf, and off-site storage is the right home
- Boxes past their date — pure cost, cleared by certified destruction
Record Nations connects Athens offices with providers who price the three separately, which is what makes the middle row visible instead of assumed.
Who this tends to matter to
Healthcare and government together account for close to a third of Georgia’s records work, and both keep material far longer than a lease runs. Charts in particular have their own clock, covered on the chart scanning page.
Disposal still has to be documented. The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act puts that duty on whoever held the file, and a NAID AAA-certified provider issues you the certificate that proves it.

A box count and a rough split between active and dormant is enough to begin. Record Nations returns bids from certified local providers at no charge, each showing the one-time figure beside the yearly one.
