How to Shred

Shred On Site Melbourne and Shred On Site Geelong can help you determine what can or should be shredded. The days of throwing everything in the rubbish or recycle bin are over. The risks of identity theft and corporate espionage are now too great. Privacy laws have set the standards for how confidential information must be destroyed with large penalties for non-compliance.

Every day, companies rely on their employees to know how to manage and dispose of confidential information. Have those employees received any training or guidance? Are there any written policies or instructions? What needs to be stored, what goes in the rubbish, what should go in the recycle bin, what needs to be securely destroyed?

The correct disposal of information can prevent your business from being fined or receiving negative publicity (e.g. A Current Affair story or a social media storm). You never need to ask “How to Shred”, you just need to call Shred on Site who will handle it all for you!

Around the world, a ‘shred-all’ policy has become best practice. This takes the guess work out of the decisions employees have to make on a day-to-day basis because they know that if it doesn’t have to be stored for legal or business reasons, then it gets shredded, preferably ON SITE.

Here is a list of items that you should consider for destruction:
