There’s more to document shredding than staying compliant. It helps large and small businesses run smoothly, efficiently, and in line with your environmental standards.
Every office needs to protect its physical space. Overflowing documents take up valuable space, inhibiting office flow and costing you money. Give your people the room to do their work and only store what needs to be stored. You’ll find that shredding can “spark joy”.
We guarantee your materials will be recycled and reused. Shredding can be an essential part of your personal and corporate green initiatives. This can save you money, potentially earn tax credits, improve recruitment, and boost employee morale.

In an era of identity and information theft, shredding documents is the best way to maintain your proprietary information and comply with all industry-relevant regulations.
Generally speaking, you should shred obsolete contracts, sales forecasts, training documentation, market research reports, client lists, invoices/receipts, medical records, audits, HR documents, and more. If something is taking up space, and you would prefer no one sees it, then shredding is your best bet. Additionally, compliance regulations require the destruction of certain types of physical documents based on standard retention schedules.
You generally need to retain tax records, employment and HR records, business property documents, incorporation documents, financial statements, and other legal documents for a given period of time. It’s important to check with state, local, and industry-specific laws before proceeding.
Industrial cross-cut shredding renders all documents unreadable. By cutting lengthwise and widthwise, you can be assured all materials are thoroughly destroyed. This is slower than straight-line shredding, but your security is worth the effort.
Not much. Our industrial cross-cut shredders can handle staples, binders, paperclip, and any other metal materials. However, we would prefer if you removed paper from three-ring binders and plastic covers, which are challenging to separate during the recycling process.
100% of your paper documents are immediately shipped in 40-ft trucks to be recycled.
We are. Access is NAID AAA Certified, ensuring regulatory compliance through the secure destruction and confidential shredding of hard copy records, computer hard drives, and other electronic media.
We guarantee total destruction of computer hard drives, CPUs, and other electronic material. All processes meet NAID certification requirements, and follow secure Chain of Custody protocols.
From the moment of pickup, your shred order is tracked and scanned at every stop, using GPS, barcodes, and more. There is never a moment of its optimized route where your materials aren’t accounted for. Read more about our Chain of Custody.
You receive a Certificate of Destruction after all material is completely shredded and securely shipped to be recycled.
We sure do. From handheld scanners to GPS monitors, there have been crucial developments in document security. These aren’t just cool: they give you peace of mind.
This varies depending on ordering time and size of load.
That’s great, but large-scale shredding takes time and energy. Making sure documents are secure 100% of the time takes logistics and more powerful tools than a deskside shredder. We shred all day. You can focus on your business.
There are a lot of great options for that, including secure offsite storage and scanning and conversion solutions.
Whether it’s a one-time purge or a regular service, we’re here to keep you secure, compliant, and surrounded by a great customer care team.
