Common Business Shredding Questions Answered Legal documents are a necessity for all types of businesses, and they serve an important purpose for many company actions. However, most types of legal documents contain important information about the business itself or its clients. When it’s time to dispose of legal documents, shredding them is an essential action for business owners. If you are searching for a company to handle your shredding needs, even for complex and important legal documents, our team has everything needed to be your ideal partner. We have decades of shredding experience in the Bay Area, and we have helped companies of all types and sizes with many unique shredding needs. Many clients have questions about legal document shredding, especially if they have never used a shredding service before or they have a complex shredding need. In the sections to follow, we will answer some common questions about our process and hopefully provide insight into why we’re the ideal partner for your shredding projects. Is Shredding Necessary? When it comes to legal documents, it’s important to ensure they don’t fall into the wrong hands. These files can contain personal information which can lead to identity theft, trade secrets which could harm your business if they become public, and other information which needs to be kept private to protect your clients. While there are other ways to destroy documents, shredding is the most efficient and environmentally friendly option. What Shredding Options Do You Offer? We try to make shredding as convenient as possible for our clients, and we do this by offering multiple ways to have your documents shredded. You can select from three options depending on your needs. First, you can call us to schedule a drop off of your documents and we can shred them at our facility. As a more convenient option, you can schedule a pick-up and we will come collect the documents to be shredded and bring them to our facility. Finally, if you’re looking for security and peace of mind, we can bring our shredding truck to your building and shred everything there with a member of your team overseeing the shredding. Can I Schedule Regular Service? Many of our clients use our pick-up services, and periodic pickups are our most popular service. Depending on the needs of your business, we can come collect your documents weekly or monthly and take them to be shredded. If you choose periodic service, we can provide a secure bin where the documents can be stored between pickup times. What Happens with Shredded Material? We prioritize not only convenient and complete shredding for our clients, but also an efficient and environmentally friendly process from start to finish. When your documents are done being shredded, we take extra steps to ensure they are either repurposed through recycling or disposed of in a conscious manner if they can’t be used again.
