What Is On-Site Shredding?
On-site shredding is a shredding company’s premium service. Off-site shredding on the other hand, is considered the less secure alternative for a document disposal company.
With our on-site shredding service, we’ll go to your business or residence and shred your confidential materials right in front of your eyes.
While these may be the three main reasons why you should use an on-site shredding company to dispose of your old archived documents, they are not the only reasons to get rid of excess paperwork. Document shredding services also help keep your business neat and well organized with fewer extra papers floating around. Without document shredding, your papers will continue to pile up more and more until you got a big mess. Imagine having to search through thousands of documents just to find one important invoice.
Moreover, most of those documents are just collecting dust since you will never use them again. Secure document shredding gets rid of all the old archived, unnecessary files, forms, invoices, records, and other documents you don’t need so your organization will be up-to-date and remain clutter-free without you or your staff ever having to lift a finger since we come in and do all the work for you.
Another good thing about outsourcing document shredding services is it saves you ample office space; Not only does it remove the clutter of piles of paperwork from your workplace, but also the need for keeping a shredding machine available.
It also saves you and your staff time. Rather than shredding papers all day, you could be spending your valuable time on more important things like running your business while your staff engages in more important activities.
Besides, have you seen the prices on some of the shredding devices used today? You could probably use our services hundreds of times, and it still won’t be close to what a good shredding machine will set you back.
These are all important things that business owners must consider when running a successful business. However, the most important factor in running a business is money. Therefore, it is important to look for different ways to save on costs. While there are some things you can just pass up altogether, shredding documents isn’t one of them. This is considered a necessity for your business security. Not to mention it is your legal right to protect the information of your customers and clients.
Sure, you could purchase a cheap shredding machine, but they probably won’t do a good job of shredding your documents. In fact, you would probably be better off tearing the paper up yourself rather than using some of the cheap shredding devices available today.
Did you know that there are experts out there who can put together shredded documents to get the information they need to steal your client’s identity or gain access to credit card information, and more? That’s why it is imperative to leave your paper shredding to the experts like IntelliShred.
Why On-Site Shredding Will Save You Money
There are many reasons why on-site shredding will save you money. The math alone supports it. Using an on-site shredding service will cost less than your employee’s wages. The other reasons why on-site shredding will save you money follow the same kind of logic.
- Security
Most large companies are very aware of cyber threats. However, one threat often overlooked, is old-fashioned dumpster diving.
Most people don’t know it’s usually much easier to hack into a company without even going online first. That’s because too many companies let sensitive documents get thrown into the trash.
And even if management is smart enough to know better, junior-level employees might not know any better, or they might make careless mistakes.
It’s important to carefully evaluate your offices. First, ask yourself these questions:
- Do you keep sensitive documents sitting out overnight?
- Do you keep your file cabinets locked?
- Do you keep documents that are meant to be shredded in a recycle bin?
Most companies keep a treasure trove of information easily accessible every night. Remember, once these documents are in the dumpster, they’re considered to be public property by the Supreme Court.
- Compliance with Laws
Not only will your documents become public property if thrown into the dumpster, but your business will also be breaking the law. This is because of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA).
In fact, some government officials have made it their mission to punish businesses violating this act. For example, previous Texas attorney general Greg Abbot made it his personal crusade to fine companies millions of dollars for this practice.
- Convenience
Finally, convenience is considered a contributing factor. An on-site shredding service will help protect your interests and keep your business running more smoothly. In fact, the very name mobile paper shredding service conjures up the idea of convenience.
So how will the on-site shredding work?
The procedure is very simple. Our mobile shredding truck will go directly to your business or residence. This will also save you the trouble of finding space to put your own industrial shredder.
Don’t worry about how long the shredding will take. Our shredders can shred up to 7,500 pounds an hour. That’s more than 225 file boxes or 550,000 sheets.
