Employing the services of Shred on Site is a decision that brings with it a wide range of different benefits. The most immediate are the fact that not only do you not have to prepare any documents for destruction, but you also don’t have to worry about transportation – Shred on Site will take care of all of this. Many people fail to realize the types of hazards they are exposing themselves, their employees and their customers to when making the decision to shred documents on the property. By understanding a little bit more about these hazards, you can begin to get a better idea of just what a worthwhile investment shredding on site really is.
The Waiting Game
One of the biggest hazards that you face when you make the decision to shred your documents outside the boundaries of your business is one of time. If documents aren’t being shredded to a regular schedule, the chances are high that they’re sitting in a box, filing cabinet or other location, waiting for your office cleanout, in a perfectly readable form. As time goes by, these documents can be moved, lost or can otherwise become unaccounted for – exposing the information contained on them to harm.
Shred on Site, on the other hand, offers services that are guaranteed to avoid just this type of issue. Not only will we book your job in a one-hour window so that you know exactly when document destruction services will start, but we’ll also call ahead if we’re running either behind or ahead of schedule so that you never have to play a guessing game.
Total Security
One of the biggest types of hazards that you avoid by making the decision to shred on site has to do with a person’s ability to reassemble the documents that you just destroyed. A standard paper shredder, like the type that you can find in an office supply store or other type of retail chain, tends to shred documents in a straight line. While the documents are technically destroyed, all it takes is a little time, effort and dedication to put them back together again in a readable fashion. This would expose all of the information contained on those documents to harm if they should fall into the wrong hands.
Shred on Site, on the other hand, employs a “pierce and tear” document shredding method as opposed to that straight line. Our state-of-the-art equipment goes beyond the normal “shredding” process, destroying your documents in every sense of the word. This makes it impossible to reassemble, regardless of how hard someone may try.
At Shred on Site, there is no job too big or too small for us to handle. If you’re looking for the peace of mind that only comes with knowing that your important business documents have been properly destroyed in a way that is not only compliant with the Privacy Amendment Act of 2012, but that will also free up valuable employee time and productivity to be better used elsewhere, please contact us today.
