6 Reasons to Outsource Your Shredding
Running a successful business isn’t easy. To make sure your company is profitable, you need to know when to let go of the reins. Here are several reasons to outsource your next shredding project:
1. Privacy Protection
You must protect the privacy of your employees, customers, and vendors. Forgetting to shred documents jeopardizes their personal information by increasing their risk of identity theft and business fraud. Outsourcing your shredding ensures confidential documents are destroyed routinely and verifiably.
2. Storage Space Savings
Paper records consume space. Outsourcing your shredding project helps free up desk, filing cabinet and closet space, giving your business room to breathe.
3. Enhanced Productivity
Delegating your shredding to a dependable document destruction provider keeps you productive. Without them, you end having to remove staples, paperclips and rubber bands from files and hand-feed sheets of paper into your shredder. Instead, secure collection containers are brought to your office allowing for quick disposal of sensitive documents. When the collection containers are full, your shredding provider destroys the contents.
4. Cost Savings
Outsourced shredding saves money by eliminating the need to buy, repair and replace office paper shredders. Shredding collection containers don’t need electricity, so you pay less on your electricity bill. Plus, no valuable employee time has to be spent on painstakingly shredding paper documents.
5. Compliance
Your company must stay current and compliant with state and federal privacy regulations, so it’s important a have a dependable, consistent, and secure document destruction solution. An outsourced shredding solution complies with the following federal privacy laws, including:
- HIPAA
- SOX
- GLBA
- FACTA
The destruction process has a documented chain of custody, and you receive a Certificate of Destruction when your shredding project is complete.
6. Sustainability
If you’re concerned for the health of the planet, outsourced shredding eases your worries. Your document destruction provider bales your shredded files and sends them to an authorized recycling partner. At the recycling facility, the shredded waste is pulped and used to produce a variety of paper products. The recycling process keeps your paper waste out of the landfill for a healthier planet.
