  • Year end purges and clean-outs free up valuable office space.
  • No presorting papers or need to remove staples, paper clips, binder clips, file folders or report covers.

Cost Effective

  • Reduces your in-house shredding cost by destroying in minutes what would take hours to do with an office shredder.

Responsible

  • All shredded paper is delivered to a local recycling center for further processing and manufacturing into a variety of new products. This complies with California waste reduction and recycling laws (AB939), thus reducing landfills, saving trees, and helping spare the air for future generations.

WHY SHRED?

Identity Theft

  • Every company possesses information that requires destruction. Businesses have an "implied contract" to protect the sensitive information they gather routinely in the course of everyday operations. Employees and customers have the legal right to have this information protected. Without the proper safeguards in place, this information ends up in the dumpster where it is readily and legally available to anyone.

The Law

There are several laws and regulations that exist requiring businesses to destroy rather than simply discard information:

  • California Law AB2246, effective January 2001, mandates that all businesses must destroy or arrange for destruction of customers' information.
  • Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), effective June 2005, requires that "any person who maintains or otherwise possesses consumer information for a business purpose" must properly destroy beyond recognition rather than discard such information.
  • Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) for health care facilities, providers and plans. Identifies protected health information and sets rules for the security and privacy of this information.
  • Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, places significant restrictions on the use of customer information by those in the financial industry (insurance, banks, securities, mortgage, escrow, etc). Such financial institutions must disclose their privacy policies to their customers.
  • Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In many respects security underpins the requirements.
