Document Shredding

Help Stop Identity Theft!

Protect Your Information

Every household and business today creates an immense amount of confidential information. Trash and recycling bins can be packed with vital and revealing documentation which can get into the wrong hands too easily.

It has been determined that criminals are indeed stealing their victims trash to sort through and find any personal identification they can use to assume one's identity and create new financial transactions at their victim's expense.

FACTA (Fair & Accurate Credit Transaction Act) Disposal rule specifies that companies "must properly dispose of such information by taking reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to or use of the information in connection with its disposal."

Stored records should be completely destroyed on a regular basis. By doing so, a company may limit its legal risk.

We insure that your confidential information remains secure from the time we collect until destruction. We are bonded and insured; we use enclosed secured bins locked in an alarmed storage unit. Our facilities are alarm-protected with 24 hour camera surveillance.

Secured Document Shredding and Recycling!!

Secured Document Shredding is not only necessary and safe for consumers but is important to recycling for two reasons. Those reasons are to continue the post-shredded destruction process and to help the environment. Experts say that about 17 trees are spared when 1 ton of paper is recycled.

Here are some more interesting facts about recycling:

  • If you had a 15-year-old tree and made it into paper grocery bags, you'd get about 700 of them. A supermarket could use all of them in under an hour! This means in one year, one supermarket goes through 60,500,000 paper bags! Imagine how many supermarkets there are in the U.S.!!!
  • The average American uses seven trees a year in paper, wood, and other products made from trees. This amounts to about 2,000,000,000 trees per year!
  • The amount of wood and paper we throw away each year is enough to heat 50,000,000 homes for 20 years.
  • Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the U.S.
