Many companies have the need for a professional shredding partner. Shredding documents is essential for many businesses, and is just good practice even if your industry does not have some kind of regulations on what kinds of information to shred. Our company is proud to be a reliable partner for many businesses in Oakland and the entire East Bay Area, and we bring decades of experience in the shredding business to any partnership. We specialize in document shredding and the destruction of hard drives, floppy discs and other media. While many of our clients are businesses with large shredding needs and/or periodic service needs, we also work with plenty of individuals who want to protect their identity.   In this article, we will detail a few of the most common documents we shred to give you a better idea of when shredding is a good idea for your business or in your personal life. While these are a few of the documents we see the most, we can help with any unique circumstance and encourage you to call us with any questions.  

Financial Statements

Financial statements not only include information someone could use to steal your identity or falsely use the financial instruments of a business, they also can clue competing businesses into how you run your company and can be a major source of trade secrets. By shredding your credit card statements, bank account statements and other financial documents, you preserve your privacy and keep the financial status of your company a private matter, as it should be. As with any of our services, we can shred up to 1,000 boxes of financial records or just a few important personal bank statements.  

Confidential Documents

Many businesses have a duty to shred documents which include sensitive information on their clients, and even if your company has no professional standard of shredding, it’s a good idea to take this step to protect your customers. We have a great deal of experience working with confidential documents, and even have passed clearance from certain industries or gotten certification to handle documents for companies with strict regulations. Since we understand how important this shredding is, we offer on-site shredding where you can witness the documents being destroyed.  

Excess Waste Paper

Did you know shredding is an eco-friendly way to dispose of your excess paper, even if it doesn’t contain sensitive information? Many businesses or individuals produce a great deal of paper for marketing, hobbies or other activities, and when you throw paper away it can end up in a landfill or other space where it negatively impacts the environment. Shredded paper is always recycled, ensuring the best use of the documents after they are destroyed. To make it easy to shred, we can come perform pick-ups of documents to be shred, shred on your property or you can schedule a drop off at our facility.   If you have any shredding needs in Oakland or any city in the East Bay Area, we’re here to help.
