What types of documents should be considered for destruction, and how do I identify them?

Documents that contain sensitive or confidential information, such as financial records, medical files, legal documents, and employee records, should be considered for destruction. A document retention policy can help identify which documents need to be shredded.

What is the difference between on-site and off-site document destruction services?

On-site destruction involves shredding documents at your location for added security, compliance, and peace of mind, while off-site destruction means documents are collected and securely destroyed at the shredding facility.

Can I schedule a one-time shredding service, or do you offer recurring shredding plans?

Whether you need a one-time shredding service or prefer a recurring plan, we can connect you with providers offering flexible options. Discuss your specific needs with the chosen provider for a customized shredding solution.

Can I receive a Certificate of Destruction after the shredding service is complete?
