Safety
Not only is shredding an easy way to get rid of unwanted piles of paper, files or other documents, but with identity theft on the rise, you can never be too careful. Fraud prevention begins with shredding your documents on a regular basis. Businesses especially are at risk due to the large volume of confidential documents handled on a daily basis. In order to keep the sensitive information of both customers and employees safe, the best and most thorough option is to shred. Shred-N-Go will securely shred all documents on site at your convenience.
Environment
The purging of old documents and materials through paper shredding is a smart move for both your business and the environment. Shred-N-Go uses an environmentally friendly method to dispose of all shredded paper.
I don’t own a business. Why do I need document shredding?
Document shredding is essential for everyone, not just business owners as credit card and mail fraud is just as rampant. Private documents that are disposed of improperly, such as in a bag or bin, are subject to “dumpster divers” looking for a way to access your personal information. Tax records, bills and credit card offers are just some of the items that criminals can use to steal your identity.
What typesof documents benefit from shredding?
Documents that contain confidential information such as social security and credit card numbers are high on the ‘need to be shredded’ list. Other such documents include proposals, financial reports, quotes, tax records, marketing data, bills, insurance information, check logs and more.
Why should I use a shredding service when I already have a personal shredder?
Personal shredders are great for occasional use, but when you have piles upon piles of documents to shred, they won’t go the extra mile. Most pint-sized shredders are incapable of accommodating large quantities of paper and require constant maintenance. Shred-N-Go’s large capacity shredders will destroy in an instant what would take all day with a personal shredder. Bottom line: what’s your time worth?
Do I have to prepare my documents for destruction?
As Shred-N-Go shredders can crunch through almost anything, any staples, paper clips or binding left on a document won’t stand a chance. Just place the materials slated to be shredded in the secure bins provided by Shred-N-Go and go about your day. It’s that simple!
Is there anything else besides paper that can be shredded?
Shred-N-Go uses powerful shredders that will not only slice paper to shreds, but also CDs, DVDs, hard disks, books, videos and cassette tapes.
What size and how secure are the containers?
Depending on the volume of documents needing to be shred, Shred-N-Go will provide you with either a 65 gallon locked plastic bin (holds 250 pounds) or a locked executive console (holds 100 pounds) for more delicate information. Each container is made of the highest quality, impenetrable material to safely store your documents until shredding is scheduled.
How often should I have my documents destroyed?
To effectively eliminate the risk of identity theft, documents and records should be destroyed regularly. Document shredding with Shred-N-Go may be scheduled at regular weekly or monthly intervals or as requested, including one-time purges.
What happens to the shredded material?
Shred-N-Go is committed to recycling all shredded paper once each truck is full by frequenting various recycling plants in both Dallas and Arlington.
Is there any confirmation of shredding for my records?
A certificate of document destruction is issued upon completion and includes a description of the disposed materials. Names and signatures of individuals witnessing the destruction are included along with a statement regarding the method of destruction.
Can I watch the destruction of my documents?
