Off Site Shredding in Schaumburg

Off site shredding is different from on site shredding—instead of shredding your materials at your Chicago location, trained security drivers load your files into a locked truck, protecting them until they are delivered to a secure shredding plant near Chicago and shredding them that same day. Your shredded documents are co-mingled with other projects, scrambling the pieces thoroughly so that they can't be pieced back together. Then, they are sent directly to a paper mill where the material is turned into pulp to make new paper.

off site shreddingThis service is favored because it is often cheaper than on site shredding and considerably less time-consuming. Off site shredding is a better option for high-volume shredding projects because of the enhanced shredding capacity of a facility shredder. Off site shredding is compliant with every current federal and Illinois privacy law, including HIPAA and FACTA.

At the plant, only authorized personnel come into contact with your documents. The material is fed directly into an industrial shredder, which is capable of processing over 20,000 pounds an hour. A Certificate of Destruction is then provided to you with the certified weight that verifies that the papers were shredded.
