DocuShred can handle any size job. DocuShred solutions and services include a one-time clean out for documents stored away, or a standard scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly service for those companies who consistently dispose of classified records.

Office shredders are not cost efficient, taking up valuable office space and office work time.  They are also messy and often unreliable. DocuShred offers a much more cost efficient, clean and secure way to destroy your documents.

Recycling is not a secure method of securing your business’ information as Recycling Plants do not have guidelines for handling sensitive materials.  Once your materials are sent to a recycling plant anyone can access them and use them at their discretion.  DocuShred makes sure that your documents do not get into the wrong hands and is a sensible risk management tool.

Destroyed materials, now in the shape of confetti, are then put into bales, recycled and reused in various paper products used every day.

DocuShred provides locked containers where you can store confidential materials until your scheduled pickups.  All containers are professional looking with a paper slot making them convenient and easy to use.  DocuShred also offers an assortment of containers in different sizes that can accommodate any need you may have.

DocuShred is flexible when it comes to your document destruction needs. Just contact your Account Manager to discuss adjusting your DocuShred service.  DocuShred is committed to making our companies satisfied.

Charging by volume gives you the best value. DocuShred uses superior equipment that can shred thousands of pounds of documents per hour allowing us to service clients efficiently and cost effectively.  Some shredding companies do charge by the minute.

Looking at the storage or records from a risk management standpoint, there are business records that need to be retained for a certain amount of time and once this time period has expired the only acceptable way to handle the information is to destroy them in a manner that offers total destruction and does not compromise the company or the client.  DocuShred gives their clients a Certificate of Destruction documenting the exact date and manner used for destruction as legal record of following the regulations and guidelines.

Most sensitive documents and materials need to be saved for a minimum of seven years with few exceptions that should be kept on a permanent basis.  Please see the Retention Schedule for further information.
