All about Secure Paper Shredding Services you need to know

Whether at home or at work, security is the most important thing in today’s life. Since the advent of mobile technology, we connect to banks, workplace, home, online-markets etc. using a username, password, and a mobile number. All of this information may be lying stored somewhere on a piece of paper also. Sometimes we do not need the information anymore and just tend to throw away the piece of paper as useless. However, the leakage of such information could be fatal for you as it might reveal the required combination of the above three to an unauthorized person. To ensure this does not happen Allshred offers its paper shredding services. Allshred is a paper shredding company that provides various shredding services. Allshred also ensures that the shredding process is secure and no information of the clients is either lost or passed on to the wrong hands. The various services that Allshred offers are:

1. Off-Site Document Shredding: In case of off-site document shredding, the company’s truck arrives at the client location, and picks up the documents to be shredded. These documents may include passwords, account numbers, loan accounts, email ids, etc. Off-site shredding provides for imminent shredding but not immediate. Also, off-site shredding document shredding process is visible only if recorded. Once the documents leave the clients’ site, it is then up to the shredding company to decide when to shred the documents. The process may take hours to weeks even.

1. On-Site Document Shredding: This type of shredding enables the client to view the entire shredding process before the shredding truck leaves the client site. A mobile shredding truck comes to the client site, collects the documents to be shredded, and then shreds them on-site. The shredding in this case is immediate.

1. Routine Shredding Services: The shredding company takes care of all the documents by storing them in locked containers. Nobody has access to those documents till some authorized person from the shredding company comes and takes the documents into his custody. Allshred offers complete confidentiality of the clients’ documents.

1. File Purge Services: Sometimes unwanted or archived files take up a lot of space. The clients’ may be interested in making space for new files and disposing off the older files. Allshred Services help their clients by performing both these tasks in a single go. This is accomplished by either purging the old files altogether or by relocating them to some other place. These services are provided on-site to the client.
2. Hard Drive Destruction: In a world driven altogether by information technology, paper has already become an obsolete medium for storing data. These days’ data is stored on hard disk, floppy disks, or usb drives. Allshred offers services to secure your unwanted data by destroying your hard disks. You might have formatted your hard disk a number of times, but the data remains hidden somewhere as long as the hard disk is not destroyed. Allshred will ensure that once you have assigned the task to the shredding company, they will not leave an iota of any data remaining on the hard-disk, and the hard-disk will also be destroyed to the last-bit.

1. Product Destruction: Besides destroying paper or hard drives, Allshred also offers product destruction. This includes goods that are defective, pharmaceutical waste, electronics, old packaging, cosmetics, liquids, uniforms, identity cards, promotional items, clothing etc. Also, if there is something that you need to get destroyed but isn’t on the company’s list of items, you can be sure that Allshred will be able to shred those items too.

Benefits of Shredding Paper

Allshred Services help to wipe out any data that may pertain to health care, law firms, educational institutions, small scale and large-scale industries etc. Shredding Paper has many benefits despite just protecting data.

1. Saving Forests: Every year, a number of forests are cut down in order to manufacture paper. These trees would have otherwise provided us with a number of other resources such as oxygen, bark, shade, and improved quality of air. By shredding and recycling paper, we can save forests, and our environment from deteriorating further.

1. Compost: Shredded paper can act as a means of compost. It is always better to shred the paper instead of throwing it in a nearby piece of land or a flowing stream. Both may harm the ecosystem, and the animals around us. When composted, the documents start serving us in a better manner as a rich, organic mixture that is great for soil and plants.

1. Economic Help: Not only is shredding paper environment friendly, it is also economically a friendly procedure. Shredding paper reduces the damage caused by paper production and cuts on cost.
