In the News

A community shredding event is a greatcommunity service. Everyone’s invited tobring their confidential documents to bedestroyed on site.

One of the most successful shreddingevents held by global document destructionleader Shred-it occurred in a Rhode Islandcommunity last spring. Over 1,300 vehiclesshowed up for the event, and they handedover more than 16 tons of paper for destruction.

What are some insights drawn fromthis kind of event?

Data breaches are top of mind. Identitytheft is one of the biggest concerns in and outof the workplace. In 2015, the number ofidentity fraud victims was at its second highestlevel in six years. According to the 2016Identity Fraud Study by Javelin, identityfraud cost 13.1 million U.S. consumers a totalof $15 billion in 2015.

“We’re not digital yet”. Statistics showthat the average office worker still uses over10,000 pieces of copy paper a year. In fact,every business – and home – ends up withconfidential information on paper rangingfrom addresses on envelopes and credit cardstatements to various documents containingbusiness and financial information.

DIYshreddingmachines aren’t reliable.Office shredding machines are often stripshredders – and these are the least securebecause the strips of paper can be reassembled.Also, these machines are labor intensivewhich means a lot of the time, paper is leftstockpiled and not secure. Professionaldocument destruction utilizes cross-cutshredding technology so that paper becomesconfetti-like. Specialized shred sizes shouldbe offered to meet different industryrequirements.

Security is critical. At a communityshredding event, a secure chain of custodyshould be evident with security trainedexperts and secure destruction. In theworkplace,

an experienced document destruction companywill provide locked consoles for the collectionand storage of documents that need to bedestroyed.

Prioritize compliance. Businesses aremore aware than ever of the importance ofprivacy laws and compliance, according tothe 2016 Shred-it State of the IndustryReport. Privacy laws require timelydocument disposal, and there are fines fornon-compliance. A professional shreddingpartner will provide a Certificate ofDestruction after every shred.

Avoid the trash or recycling bin.Earlier research has shown that Americansreceive over 4 million tons of junk mail everyyear (much of it contains personalinformation), and it often ends up in the trash.Dumpster-divers go through trash for thiskind of information. To prevent identity theft,documents must be securely destroyed at theend of their useful life.

Recycling and shredding go hand-in-hand. After documents are shredded, areliable document destruction serviceprovider will send the confetti-sized piecesfor recycling. According to the AmericanForest & Paper Association, a record 66.8%of paper consumed in the U.S. was recoveredfor recycling in 2015.Shred-it reports that twoconsoles filled with paper will save one treethrough recycling. Shred-it also providescustomers with an annual certificate ofenvironmental accomplishment that showshow many trees have been saved by thecompany.
