Paper Shredders Info

1. You Can't Outsource Security
No matter which contractor you hire, you will still be dealing with an outsider. Will you have to send someone to watch him do the shredding? What kind of people does he hire? Does his equipment ever break? What does his "Certificate of Destruction" actually say?
Shredding in-house with your own staff gives you total accountability and protection.

2. In The Long-Run, It's More Expensive
Every time the truck comes, you can expect to pay several hundred dollars. Multiply that number by 100 and then count the zeros! That's what you can expect to spend over eight years with monthly visits.
Think of the shredding equipment you could buy... For a one-time investment you can be covered for at least 10 years!!

3. You Are At The Mercy Of The Contractor's Schedule
The first time the contractor will be on-time. But how long before you hear the full range of excuses, bad weather, broken truck, driver sick, flat tire, running behind, etc... You will be subject to the schedule of the service company.
If you had a shredder in-house you could shred on your own schedule.

4. You Cannot Choose Your Shred Security Level
Shredders come in many sizes and security levels, for 1/2" wide strips to high security cross cut models used by the Department of Defense. The contractors' shredders are usually set for wide strips for maximum speed. Can you live with that??? Can you protect your business and your employees with a 1/2" wide strip?
If you had in-house shredders you would determine what security level you are comfortable with... Even different departments could be protected by different levels.

5. You Are NOT Sending The Right Message To Your Employees
The worst thing your employees can see is a pile of confidential papers lying out in the open waiting for the contractor. Not only does this entice someone to read them, but it also is NOT protecting your employees or your business from the competition or someone determined to harm your company...
On the other hand; the company that purchases several shredders is sending a message to the employees that company information is confidential!
