Baltimore Off Site Shredding

Off site shredding differs from mobile shredding because the materials are not shredded at your Baltimore location. This service is favored because it is often cheaper than on site shredding and considerably less time-consuming. Off site shredding is compliant with every current federal and Maryland privacy law, including HIPAA and FACTA.

Off site shredding is a better option for high-volume shredding projects because of the enhanced shredding capacity of a facility shredder. Your shredded documents are co-mingled, scrambling the pieces thoroughly so that they can’t be pieced back together.

Trained security drivers load your files into a locked truck, protecting them until they are delivered to a locked shredding plant. At the plant, only authorized personnel comes into contact with your documents. The material is fed directly into an industrial shredder, which is capable of processing over 20,000 pounds an hour. A certificate of destruction is then provided to you with the certified weight that verifies that the papers were shredded.

Once papers are shredded, they are baled and sent directly to a paper mill where the material is turned into pulp to make new paper.
