Off-site, shredding is a great way to shred a lot of documents affordably. This process is compliant with every existing federal and Missouri privacy laws including FACTA and HIPAA, but it’s also generally less expensive than mobile shredding service. This is because the paper is shredded at a St Louis plant instead of at your location.

It also has a high level of security since only authorized employees are allowed to come in contact with the material or even be at the plant. Trained security professionals transport your documents in a locked truck, guarding it until it arrives at a locked St Louis shredding plant.

The material is dumped directly into the shredder that processes over 20,000 lbs an hour. When the process is complete, you’re given a certificate of destruction that includes the certified weight and verifies that the materials were destroyed.

Once materials are shredded they are compacted and shipped directly to a paper company where the material is turned into pulp and recycled into new paper.
