  2. When you leave your confidential documents to keep piling up, you only risk everyone’s personal information. Shredding is an excellent solution to get rid of the pile without compromising anyone’s safety. It helps you safely and confidentially handle your sensitive documents and keep the waste away. For this, office shredders might be a go-to solution for many. But, these are often time-consuming, less secure, and impact employee productivity. So, it is best to employ professionals for quick and convenient security shredding.

  3. But how can you distinguish an unreliable and fly-by-night document shredding company from reputable ones? Keep the following factors in mind to engage a qualified and trustworthy document destruction solution provider:

  4. SAFETY The shredding services you choose must be safe and reliable. The facility must provide tamperproof containers at your location for the accumulation of documents. They must also possess industrial- grade shredders and follow industry best practices in shredding confidential documents. It ensures your documents are shredded beyond recognition and reconstruction. Top shredding companies also provide a Certificate of Destruction for assured peace of mind.

  5. SERVICES If you are wondering what services top shredding companies offer, here is what you must look for: Recurring shredding Mobile shredding Purge shredding Media and non-media shredding Drop-off shredding Some companies also provide a free trial so that you can be confident that you are hiring professionals offering risk-free services.

  6. RECYCLING Someone that understands and advocates the importance of recycling confidential documents is the best bet. When you hire an environmentally-conscious company, it helps save the environment and is also good on your part and corporate responsibility.

  7. CERTIFICATIONS Ensure that the company carries relevant licenses and certifications and complies with the necessary shredding standards and laws. This makes sure that they uphold the highest standards of quality and integrity in every aspect of the service.

  8. FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE Someone who can work on your schedule may be your best bet. You will not want to be rushed into the process. So, a company that can put up with your mentioned schedule and request is the one you would be most comfortable with.

  9. ON/OFF-SITE SHREDDING You will want to enquire if your chosen shredding company offers on-site and/or off-site shredding services. A reputable and experienced company must be able to accommodate a range of needs. The benefits of on-site shredding are unparalleled as you can see everything happen right in front of your eyes. However, off-site, i.e., drop-off shredding, is no less, especially when it is a witnessed shred. Ultimately, it is about your preference and what brings you peace.

  10. COST-EFFECTIVE PRICING Generally, the volume of material you want to shred will dictate the cost of the services. However, the type, location, and frequency will also impact the prices. Some of the companies may follow a standard pricing structure for all projects. However, media and specialty shredding may incur a customized quote.

  11. TO CONCLUDE It is evident that at some point, you will have to get rid of the heap of confidential documents and paperwork accumulating in your space. So, hiring a shredding service is the best way forward. But, you cannot leave that sensitive information in the hands of just any company. Hopefully, the tips above will help you weed out the good from the bad. Happy shredding.
