Confidential shredding of proprietary documents is a must for businesses and individuals as well. For large corporations, generally a professional shredding vendor performs this task. Most businesses designate an employee to observe the actual shredding, insuring that all documentation is shredded and witnessed. Some shredding vendors insist upon this. Others don't. If this is an important, be sure it's included in the contract or work order. Allowing a mobile shredding vendor to haul away confidential documents doesn't necessarily insure that they will, in fact, be shredded.
Confidential shredding in certain industries is a top priority. Imagine clients submitting financial information to accounting firms. Both must agree on how financial information is disposed of. Also in various chemical, mechanical and architectural engineering companies where design is proprietary and based on client information, confidential shredding is critical. The same applies for environmental consultants, given the confidentiality agreements between consultant and client to dispose of obsolete state and local environmental compliance documents.
Confidential shredding for individuals is a significant consideration to avoid identity theft. The least expensive method of dealing with this is to purchase a personal shredder. However, there are differences in shredders. To the extent personal information has dollar value, determines the type of shredder an individual requires. There are two types of paper shredders: "Cross-cut", which cuts paper both length-wise and width-wise, insuring maximum security for confidential documents. Because the cuts are smaller, the volume of paper waste is decreased and the volume of paper shredded is therefore easier to dispose of. However, it should be noted that cross-cut paper shredders require more maintenance. These are generally preferable for more highly confidential documents where secure shredding is key.
The second type of shredder for confidential shredding is the strip cut shredder. A strip cut shredder shreds the paper length-wise, hence the name. With this type shredder, the disposal is more frequent and not very compact, but the strip-cut requires little or almost no maintenance.
Other features to be considered are the number of pages that can be shredded with one pass through. If you are shredded junk mail and you have a volume on a weekly basis to be shredded, a 3 page shredder will take a longer time for the shredding process. Check the accompanying shredder manual as to whether the shredder also shreds items like credit cards, DVD disks, CDs and stapled documents. Removing staples from volumes of documents wastes time. The size of the shredder may also be important is space if is a consideration. Don't just throw away shredded paper. It can be safely used in backyard mulch. If you're a handy crafter, it can be used in craft projects from pillow stuffing to making dolls. Many municipalities also recycle shredded paper. There are also several companies who purchase it at a reasonable rate.
Altogether confidential shredding is a routine and very important task for offices and businesses of every size. It's the only way to be sure about the disposition of your confidential documents.
