What Is The UCI Document Destruction Truck?
Tuesday, March 4th, 2014
Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the United States. Most identity theft is done by going through company dumpsters. A strip shredder does not offer ample protection for businesses. Even when companies do use cut and rip shredders, they are still responsible for transporting the shredded remains to a recycling center to avoid having them sitting in the trash.
In order to shred sensitive documents and dispose of them properly, it is best practice to hire a document destruction company. As you weigh possible options in your area, look for services that recycle their waste materials and that have a strict hiring process which included background checks.
What are the benefits of on-site shredding?
It is easy to assume that the safest way to shred and dispose of sensitive documents is to do it all within the company. Most businesses cannot justify the investment of a personal shredder, nor do they have the resources or time to dispose of the shredded remains properly. A couple employees can spend hours and hours each week just trying to keep up with the demand.
When you hire an service that offers on-site shredding, you get a peace of mind knowing that the entire shredding process will be completed at your facility in a timely, professional manner. When the crew has finished with the shredding, they will transport the remains securely to a recycling center.
How do I know if document destruction is secure?
