Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a service when I can do it myself?
Our service not only takes the work out of doing it yourself, but it also creates a “closed loop” system by mixing thousands of our other customers documents together before they are shredded, making it virtually impossible for anyone to put it back together.

Is offsite shredding really safer?
As we said above, off-site shredding mixes the documents with tons of others customer documents as well as not exposing your documents to the open outside of your office.

I want on-site services because I want to watch the shredding being done.
You are welcome to come witness your documents being shredded at our facility, as the majority of the time, it takes much less time to do than on-site shredding.

What is your service area?
We service a 150 mile radius from Atlanta, GA.

Do I have to remove paper clips, binders and staples?
No, our shredder will easily destroy them.

Do you shred non-paper items like books, media, etc?
Yes. We can shred:
-Books, file folders, binders w/clips, manuals, phone books, etc.
-Pharmaceutical bottles, etc.
-CD’s, DVD’s, and other computer media.

If you take it to your facility, how do I know that you shred it?
We certainly take our job very seriously, because we are in existence to protect the identity of our customers. We are NAID members, which is an organization that creates high standards for information protection; We work for law enforcement agencies all over the state of Georgia and can produce references upon request.
