What type of documents should be destroyed?
With increased regulatory requirements it is becoming increasingly important to destroy all documents that are not on a permanent retention schedule (click here for records retention schedule). This includes office correspondence, tax records, invoices, purchase orders, visitor logs and employee training records.

What is the advantage of off site shredding?
Off-site shredding is a convenient, cost effective way to securely dispose of old documents and other paper products. Our licensed and bonded drivers pick up all of your paper waste and transport it to our shredding facility where it is destroyed at a much lower cost than is possible for on-site destruction. You are given a certificate of destruction with every load.

Do we need to remove bindings, fasteners, paper clips, staples, etc?
