Bellingham Off Site Shredding

Off site, shredding is essentially the process of picking up paper from your Bellingham location for delivery to a secure plant and destroying them. This process complies with all existing federal and state privacy laws including FACTA. This option is popular because it is usually less expensive to shred at the facility than at the business or residence. It has a high level of security as only authorized people are allowed to come in contact with the paper, or even be in the plant.

Uniformed security professionals transport your documents with a locked truck, protecting your documents until they arrive at a secure shredding plant. Upon the arrival of the files for shredding, the boxes are inventoried. Once inventoried, they are then staged to begin the shredding work. The material is fed directly into a giant shredder, which can process over 20,000 pounds of material every hour. A certificate of destruction is created with the certified weight, verifying that the papers were shredded.

Once the materials are destroyed, they are baled and sent directly to a paper company, where the material is turned into pulp to make new paper.
