What To Shred

The number of documents that should be properly shredded when being disposed of is immense — that’s why we’ve compiled a list of potentially vulnerable documents for you. This list is not exhaustive, however, so it is important to consider thoroughly on your own which documents ought to be destroyed for your protection.

Businesses in Baltimore should especially have a detailed list of all documents that required shredding and regularly review with employees the policies and practices in place that describe how these documents should be handled. Lastly, store any materials that require shredding in a safe and secure place until your shredding service provider can take care of your needs.
