Shredding documents
Shredding is an indication that the company is aware of the need for security in protecting customer, personnel and proprietary business information. In-house shredding, however, is simply not the best option.
Some Reasons to Outsource:
Financial
Outsourcing your shredding needs is actually LESS EXPENSIVE than shredding in-house. When you consider the cost of an office shredder, the paid employees' time taken to operate the shredder, maintenance costs and other implicit costs like electricity and disposal, a comparison with the cost of an outsourced shredding service illustrates that shredding in-house actually costs 40-60% MORE than an outsourced service.
Do the math: A specialised shredding company's largest security container holds 300 lbs. of paper (and can shred this amount in 8 minutes). A standard office shredder would need 26 hours to shred the same amount--employee wages alone would far outweigh the cost of utilizing a specialized service and that's before considering the inherent expense of benefits and payroll taxes.
Operational
Have you ever tried to use an office shredder? After you've removed the staples, paper clips, rubber bands and binders, you are required to hand-feed the shredder a few pages at a time. Office shredders overheat, break down, and cause a significant amount of frustration to the unlucky user. A shredding companies service eliminates the need for employees to remove staples, paper clips, rubber bands, and to dispose of the shredded material. It provides a free locked security container and ALL LABOR for complete on-site destruction and disposal of the shredded material. Total employee involvement: the time it takes one employee to co-sign your Certificate of Destruction issued on the spot, certifying complete and secure destruction.
