Frequently Asked Questions

We can shred just about anything, but we mostly shred paper. Any document with sensitive information that you don’t want to fall in wrong hands, is due for shredding. This includes payroll slips, old tax returns, invoices & receipts and more. Here’s a list of what to shred to help you choose the right documents to dispose.

After the paper has been securely shredded, the confetti-sized pieces are bundled and recycled into paper products.

Free shredding is a misconception. Some providers may offer you the cost savings, but they do so at the expense of your security, by cutting corners and exposing your confidential information. At Shred-it, we offer a Secure Chain of Custody with our services, from start to finish. So you know you’re always protected.

Two policies that can be effective in document management are a clean desk policy and a shred-it-all policy. A clean desk policy helps ensure physical documents are shredded or contained and that all technological devices are password protected each time an employee leaves a workspace. A shred-it-all policy encourages the regular destruction of all documents to help ensure no confidential information is left out in the open that could potentially fall into the wrong hands.

Shred any document containing sensitive information, such as bank statements, credit card offers, tax returns, and personal identification information. If your business manages a lot of customer information (i.e. addresses, account details, contact information, pricing, etc.), our Regularly Scheduled Shredding Service would be recommended to protect their privacy.

Using a professional shredding service like Shred-it is more secure and efficient than shredding documents yourself. We make sure that your information stays secure, and most importantly, compliant with industry standards.

Professional shredding service costs vary depending on the amount of paper being shredded and the level of security required and the type of service chosen. Give us a call and we’ll help you with an accurate shredding quote for your needs.

Throwing papers in the trash or recycling bins does not protect the confidentiality of the information in the documents because they are often left unattended in the workplace. Malicious insiders can take documents out of the bins when no one is looking. Malicious outsiders or dumpster divers can sift through trash once discarded. This way of disposal can pose a risk of a data breach occurring.

Shred-it’s 2023 Data Protection Report found that more than 90% of small business leaders (SBLs) surveyed believe that data and information protection and compliance trainings are an essential security practice. However, 71% of SBLs surveyed fear that their employees don’t know what actions to take if a data breach occurs. It’s extremely important to get access to adequate trainings and policies.

According to Shred-it’s 2023 Data Protection Report, 67% of SBLs surveyed are overwhelmed at the thought of changing procedures to meet existing regulations. There is a fear about not being able to keep up. Roughly half do not currently have third-party partners to manage sensitive data and information, but 87% are likely to work with a subcontractor in the future. Almost all of those who do use a third-party partner feel their partnerships are deeply valuable. Most desire support for their digital and/or physical data protection needs, which isn’t surprising given the many stresses faced by small businesses.

Need a one-time bulk clean out?
