Our Most Commonly-Requested Shredding Services
Our network of local shredding companies can handle just about any job, from personal documents to witnessed destruction of confidential government records. Here are some commonly-requested services in our Arlington network:
HIPPA and HITECH-Compliant Disposition of Medical Records
Our shredding providers for medical records in Texas are HIPAA compliance specialists willing to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), explicitly accepting liability for the data while in their possession, and are familiar with Texas’ specific retention requirements for healthcare records. Their equipment meets specific particle-size standards (cross-cut or micro-cut) to render PHI completely unrecoverable, and their Certificates of Destruction must detail the specific method used to satisfy Texas Health and Safety Code requirements.
Scheduled Destruction for Regulatory Compliance
Scheduled shredding service providers act as compliance partners, establishing a consistent collection cadence (e.g., bi-weekly or monthly) to prevent data hoarding. They typically offer flexible contract terms that allow you to adjust frequency as your volume fluctuates, rather than locking you into a rigid multi-year agreement.
Additionally, they must provide a cumulative audit trail, such as an annual summary of destroyed weight, which supports your environmental reporting and proof of ongoing compliance with the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) data minimization principles.
Mobile Shredding Coverage in Arlington
Mobile shredding is much more than renting a machine. Providers in the Arlington area hold NAID AAA Certification for mobile operations, ensuring they meet the specific “reasonable measures” required by the Texas Information Disposal Act. They utilize industrial-grade trucks equipped for high-volume, secure shredding, so you or your staff can physically witness the destruction of documents before the truck leaves your premises.
Off-Site Shredding Facilities Serving the Arlington Metro Area
For off-site document destruction, the ideal provider balances cost-efficiency with rigorous security, utilizing GPS-tracked vehicles to maintain a verifiable chain of custody at each step of the shredding process. They must operate a NAID AAA certified facility, subject to random inspection, where access is strictly controlled and monitored by CCTV, and provide an official Certificate of Destruction upon completion.
One-Time Bulk Purge Shredding, On- of Off-Site
Our network’s service providers for bulk “purge” projects specialize in scalability and speed, capable of deploying high-capacity shredders that can process tons of paper per hour to minimize business disruption. They provide flexible, ad-hoc scheduling without requiring a long-term contract, allowing you to schedule “spring cleaning” or end-of-year purges on demand.
