The security of your business and customers is always a top priority. Particularly with highly sensitive info, that is often stored on documents. Once these documents have served their purpose and the need for them no longer exists, they will begin to pile up, creating a security risk. When this happens, a purge shredding service can be of assistance.

Well, what is purge shredding? It is a shredding service provided by a professional shredding company. Who will come to your place of business and shred that giant pile of documents you have. In that case, why can’t I shred my own documents? That’s because you are doing it for the advantages that come with using a professional shredding company.

Advantages of Purge Shredding

Purge shredding offers three main advantages for those who choose to use this type of shredding service. As we mentioned earlier, it protects sensitive data, but it is also time-saving, cost-effective, and good for the environment. Let’s take a closer look at these benefits.

Security

When you don’t shred your documents, it can make it too easy for information to fall into the wrong hands. Passwords, credit card numbers, bank account information, and even social security numbers are among the things that can wind up in the wrong hands. It’s a huge issue when the wrong person gets hold of that information.

Using a one-time shredding service is definitely something you should consider if you want your company’s information to be completely secure. Professional shredding companies are AAA certified, which means they meet the highest standards for a secure destruction process. When your documents are picked up for shredding, you can rest assured that they will be destroyed securely, and your data will no longer be at risk.

Time-saving and cost-effective

When dealing with a large number of documents, it tends to take up a lot of time to shred them properly. This is because most companies use personal shredders. These are often slow and can get paper jams which causes you to lose more time in maintenance. This is time you could be using on another important task.

Using all your time ends up costing you money and paying for an employee to be spending time instead of doing the work they need to be doing. Then there is the cost of the machine itself and the maintenance that comes with it. Even repairs if it breaks down.

Rather than waste time and money, use a purge shredding service to reduce costs but not compromise the security of your data.

Environment Benefits

In addition to protecting your company against security risks, you can use purge shredding to protect the environment. Every time a paper shredding service is completed, all the shredded bits are brought to a recycling facility to be broken down and made into other paper products. Thus, you can rest assured that your documents have been securely destroyed while protecting the environment.

You now have a better understanding of purge shredding services and the three main benefits of using them. If you have any questions or are ready to start shredding, please feel free to call us at 978-858-0200 or fill out our online form.

When it comes to any business, you deal with documents that contain sensitive information that you need to protect. But, eventually, there will come a time when you no longer need certain documents. Shredding them yourself can take up valuable time and money and is not as secure as you think. That’s why choosing a shredding company is the way to go.

There are two different types of shredding services. One that is Off-Site, which means they take your documents back to a secure location and shred the documents there. Or there is On-Site shredding which is also called mobile shredding. This means that the shredding company comes to you and shreds your documents right then and there.

There are many benefits to choosing mobile shredding services; let’s go through them.

Convenient & Saves Time

When it comes to shredding your office documents, it can take you days to shred what a shredding company can do within minutes. Not only can they shred them faster, but when you choose a mobile shredding service, it frees up the employee that was going to be shredding your documents. It’s also convenient because all you need to do is make your appointment and show which documents you need shredded.

Mobile Trucks

One of the best advantages of using a shredding company is that they will be using a professional shredder. These shredders can destroy up to 6000 pounds of paper per hour and cut in different directions, which destroys your documents or even hard drives or other media—making your data irrecoverable. You also don’t need to worry about removing paper clips, staples, rubber bands, and most binder clips.

Security

One of the most important things about shredding is knowing that your documents are secure and safely destroyed. Having a mobile service shred your documents means that your documents don’t leave your office or home. They are put into a secure bin, and then it goes right to the truck. You can even watch them be destroyed if the shredding company you chose has a camera in their truck.

Protect the Environment

When choosing a mobile shredding service or any kind of shredding service for that matter, you are helping protect the environment. After your paper is shredded, 100% of it is then recycled and even made into other products afterwards. Even when dealing with hard drive destruction, we make sure that they go to a certified recycler and recycled correctly.

Peace of Mind

Using a professional shredding service allows you to relax, knowing that not only are your documents securely shredded and are unrecoverable as well as receiving a Certificate of Destruction, so you have proof that your documents have been shredded.

Now that you know all the different benefits of using a mobile shredding service, like how it saves you time and money as well as giving you that peace of mind. You are ready to get shredding. All you need to do is contact A1 DataShred, and schedule your appointment today!
