Benefits
Onsite document shredding is the most effective and efficient way to dispose your document safely.
Firstly, you do not need to worry about how to transport sensitive information. An onsite shredding service means that there are less people ‘handling’ your documents. There is a determined chain of custody until destruction.
You will also be issued a Destruction certificate. This is important if you are a business because there are laws in Australia stating that businesses must take reasonable efforts to dispose of sensitive client information. You must be careful not to breach this.
It saves you time and effort: there is minimal preparation. You do not need to remove stationary such as paper clips, folders or plastic sleeves. Think about the labour cost of shredding 500 pieces of paper.
All the shredded documents are recycled. This lowers your environment impact, and if you are a business, this is an important part of your corporate social responsibility.
Documents can take up valuable space. By destroying your documents onsite, you may make the workplace flow smoother. It also makes finding important paperwork easy.
