The law has mandated that companies employ a dedicated person to oversee document destruction.  Companies and businesses are also required to hire the services of professionals with the necessary equipment for this purpose.  Although not all businesses are aware of this law, non-compliance can cost a company up to $1000.

Professional document shredding services provide both on-site and off-site options.  The on-site or mobile shredding service is said to be the most reliable.  In on-site shredding, the paper shredding company sends out a truck to your business location.  The actual shredding is done in the truck itself while your company representative or employee observes at the actual shredding site.  The schedule for shredding can be arranged with the document destruction company.  This may be done daily, weekly or monthly depending on the needs of your business.  Secured storage bins are also provided for by these companies so that paper waste meant for shredding can be aptly stored in the said containers until the next shredding schedule.  At the end of every shredding, the paper shredding company issues a Certificate of Destruction as proof of the shredding service done.

The off-site shredding service likewise provides your business with those secured storage bins and containers so that documents meant for shredding may be stored until the scheduled pick up.  Once those containers are picked up, they are locked.  At the destruction site, security cameras are installed to allow you or your business representative to view the whole shredding process.  A Certificate of Destruction is then also provided once the shredding of documents is accomplished.
