The choice of paper and document shredding allows the team at Sidekick, Inc. Advanced Document Services to scan all documents, if needed, and then shred them in a secure facility for complete destruction.
Getting To Know Our Paper Shredding Process
What is paper document shredding?
What does your Paper Shredding service cost?
Each paper shredding project is different, and we offer a free quote for our services. To get started, give us a call at 952-835-5425, and we can provide a quote.
Do you offer a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, we provide a Certificate of Destruction on-site every time you use our service. This certificate meets all regulatory requirements for compliance.
How long does it take to schedule shredding?
We understand that time is vital to our clients. We can typically schedule shredding on-demand to meet the needs of our customers. We can also retain documents in a secure facility and shred in a specific timeline when required.
Why would I use a shredding service instead of just recycling?
Shredding meets industry requirements for compliance with the secure destruction of documents. Recycling does not. However, we work with recycling partners once the documents have been shredded so your business can still offer “green” services.
Where to take papers for shredding?
We make it easy as Sidekick, Inc. Advanced Document Services comes to you for document destruction.
Why should I have a shredding service instead of buying my own shredder?
Shredding takes time, and small shredding units are typically unable to manage the bulk of document destruction most businesses require. We provide the staff and the equipment as well as a certification of destruction to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
What type of records should be destroyed?
Any records that contain secure information, personal information or information on the business, customers, products or services should be shredded for complete security. Paper documents that have been electronically saved can be securely shredded to avoid storage challenges.
Isn’t off-site shredding cheaper than using an on-site service?
At Sidekick, Inc. Advanced Document Services we offer highly competitive rates for our on-site document destruction services.
What is the difference between paper recycling and secure document destruction?
With secure document destruction, industrial shredding is completed that renders the paper illegible, protecting all data. Recycling paper does not provide this security and may result in security breaches for the company.
What happens to our material on completion of the shredding process?
We work with recycling services to process the shredded documents in an environmentally responsible way.
Do we have to remove staples, paper clips, and binder clips?
Our service will remove any items, such as staples or clips, that may be present on the documents before shredding.
How long must we retain documents before they can be destroyed?
Record destruction requirements vary based on industry and professional standards. It is important to check with your industry requirements or professional standards to determine record destruction timelines and requirements.
What happens to the documents once they are destroyed?
Once destroyed through the industrial shredding process, the paper is sent to recycling partners. This provides a secure, green, environmentally-friendly way to deal with the documents once they are no longer needed. For a quote on your specific document needs, contact our team at 952-835-5425.
