If it is important enough to shred then it is important enough to do securly.  That seems like an obvious statment but it is amazing how many people fail to follow it.  Sometimes it is as basic as using a strip cut shredder that is easy to piece back together by hand or on a large scale with a computer. It can be having low level employees do the work unsupervised. This is how boxes of documents end up in the trash.

But the one that never ceases to amaze are having convicted criminals do the shredding. The latest one to make the news is in Dallas. Dallas County allowed criminals to do the shredding as part of their community service. Their work allowed them access to everything from medical records to social security cards.

Make sure your shredding is done in a secure manner. Our shredding services use employees who have all passed a background check. The documents go through industrial shredders that don’t require them to be manually fed. This reduces the exposure to any additional eyes. The paper is also shredded to a smaller sized particle than most office shredders.
