What is the final fate of the shredded paper?
After the documents are destroyed, the shredded paper is baled and transported to a paper mill for recycling. This ensures that your confidential waste is not only secure but also disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner, contributing to the circular economy.
Is shredding effective for permanently destroying data?
Yes. We use cross-cut shredding technology that reduces documents to confetti-sized particles. This makes reconstruction impossible and meets the high security standards required for confidential waste, unlike standard strip-cut shredders.
Is on-site shredding suitable for highly sensitive documents?
Absolutely. On-site shredding is the most secure method available because the chain of custody never leaves your premises. You can witness the entire destruction process firsthand, ensuring that your sensitive legal, medical, or financial records are destroyed before our truck leaves.
Do you provide proof of destruction?
Yes. Compliance is central to our service. Upon completion of the shredding process, we provide a formal Certificate of Destruction. This document serves as your legal audit trail, proving that your confidential materials have been securely destroyed in compliance with data privacy laws.
Do I need to remove paper clips, staples, or binders before shredding?
No. Our industrial-grade shredders can easily handle staples, paper clips, and even small binder clips. However, we recommend removing large lever-arch binders or plastic sleeves to ensure the most efficient shredding process.
