Many businesses have a great deal of valuable storage space taken up by old documents. Unfortunately, getting rid of these documents can be rather risky and, in some cases, can actually be illegal. A great deal of these documents may contain important business information or personal information of past and present clients. This information in the wrong hands can be disastrous. They can be disastrous for the people whose information exists on the documents and it can be catastrophic for business from a liability standpoint. That’s why many businesses, whether they’re looking to clear out valuable storage space, or they’re simply looking to organize and discard old information, often turn to commercial Paper and Document Shredding in Irvine.
Commercial document shredding is a bit different than what a person will find when they purchase a paper shredder at a major retailer or an office supply store. These at-home or small office shredders do a good job of destroying documents to a certain extent. However, there are people patient enough to sift through what is left over from shredded documents to try to extract some type of personal information that they can use for their own gain.
With commercial document shredding, it’s impossible to reclaim any information from the documents that have been destroyed in this manner. Without getting too technical, commercial document shredding machines virtually pulverize any paper documents to the point to where there is no possibility of retrieving any information. In addition, commercial document shredding companies will issue certificates of destruction to further ensure that the documents delivered to a commercial service were completely and utterly destroyed.
In addition to the peace of mind of knowing the documents have been destroyed, commercial Paper and Document Shredding in Irvine offers a few options for their service. Documents can be sent to a central location for destruction, or mobile shredding services can come to the business. This allows the business to personally witness the documents being destroyed, without fear of the documents being intercepted during delivery from the business to a central location.
If your business needs to get rid of documents that have sensitive information that can still prove harmful to clients of the business, or the business itself, commercial shredding services are the best way to go.
