Shredding Overview

Shredding Reduces Your Liability Risks

Every business, regardless of size or industry, has at least one legal requirement to follow when destroying sensitive and confidential documents. Following these standards not only protects your customers and employees, but also protects your company's reputation and exposure. Regency's secure shredding services will certify that your company's confidential information is destroyed in compliance with municipal, state and federal laws, thus preventing costly lawsuits and fines. Shredding also prevents PR nightmares—you don't want to be in the "dumpster spotlight"! Read more about Legal Compliance

Shredding Prevents Information from Falling into the Wrong Hands

Professional shredding prevents identity theft and information from falling into the hands of competitors. Sensitive paperwork includes: customer lists, financial records, medical records, cancelled checks, tax records, memos, new product proposals, credit card receipts, etc. While shredding all documents makes good business sense, some sensitive papers fall under stringent compliance laws and could leave you facing liability risks and fines, if not properly handled.

In-House Shredding vs. Professional Services

In-House Shredding Costs More Than You Think!

It is estimated that businesses spend $171.12 to shred 100 lbs. of paper. This cost may seem high, but when you consider it takes over 7.5 hours for employees to shred 100 lbs. (9,090 pages), based on a high-capacity shredder handling 20 pages a minute, you can see how quickly labor costs add up.

Shredding is not just the amount of time in front of the shredding machine, it also involves:

In addition, equipment and energy usage need to be factored when calculating the real costs of shredding in-house.







There is a Less Expensive Way to Shred Business Documents!

Professional shredding only costs approximately $30 a month to shred 100 lbs. of documents, and it offers other tangible benefits.
