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.
