Why shred?

Businesses now have a legal and ethical responsibility to keep sensitive customer and employee information from falling into the wrong hands. You can no longer dispose of confidential documents in the regular trash containers on the street. Proper disposal of personal and confidential documents in a timely fashion will limit your liability in litigation and will keep your proprietary information out of competitor's hands.

  • Banking information

How often do you come?

After an evaluation of your shredding needs and volume we will put you on a schedule that is the best fit for you.

How do I know my documents have been destroyed?

Our trucks are equipped with state-of-the-art monitors that let you view the entire shredding process. We also issue a Certificate of Destruction once your records have been destroyed. The form will include method of destruction, dates covered, our statement that records were destroyed as part of the normal course of business and signatures and names of individuals supervising and witnessing the destruction.

What is the cost for your containers?

There is no charge for our containers to our regular customers. We ask that if we provide a container at your location that you shred at least quarterly.

How often will you empty my container?

As often as you need it. Some offices need service weekly, some monthly. Some offices only require once-a-year service. On-Site Information Destruction Inc. will customize a schedule to fit your needs.

TOP



What if my container gets full before my next pick up?

No problem, just contact us and we can arrange a pick up. We can also provide additional containers or adjust your schedule based on your volume.

TOP



Do I need to remove staples and paper clips?

No; you may include any color or type of paper as well as paper clips, staples, rubber bands, labels and file tabs. Our machines will process all fasteners so there is no need to remove them.

TOP



What happens to our paper after you shred it?

To help protect the environment all shredded material is baled and recycled. We then ship to paper mills where the material is re-pulped and processed into tissue paper.

TOP



Do you do background checks on your employees?

We have the most stringent hiring policy in the industry, seeking and employing individuals with the highest level of integrity and competency among our operations, driver/shred technicians, and customer service employees. We require our employees to participate in drug testing upon hire and to submit to random drug testing during the term of their employment. Also, we do extensive background checks on every employee. All employees are bonded, uniformed, and wear identification badges.

TOP



I have a lot of paper to shred but it will only be a one time deal. Can you handle that?

We can handle one time purges in the same manner as a scheduled pick up. Just contact us with an estimate or we can have one of our staff come out and evaluate your volume and cost.

TOP



We have a shredder in our office. Can you save us time and money over doing it ourselves?

Of course you can always do your own shredding, but it is not nearly as secure or economical, especially if other employees are involved. It might take you days to shred what we can shred in minutes. When you consider the noise, the dust, the shredder overheating and jamming, we can save you time and money.

TOP



We recycle our paper now. Why use a shredding service?

Recycling companies are not equipped to provide security. From a risk management perspective, once your confidential material leaves your possession, it is open to anyone to use and abuse. The best acceptable way of discarding your confidential paperwork is using a method that ensures complete destruction.

TOP



How much do you charge?

The price varies from client to client and is based on volume. It's best to contact us to schedule a time so we can do an assessment. From the assessment we will be able to provide you with a quote.

TOP



How safe and reliable is your service?

We provide the highest level of security. We are a certified member of NAID (National Association of Information Destruction). All of our employees undergo a strict background check and we perform random testing of all personnel. Our drivers wear company uniforms and always display a picture ID.

TOP



Can I pick my own schedule?

Unfortunately no. We follow routes to be the most economical for us and you. We schedule jobs for certain days in certain cities according to our routes.
