WHY SHREDDING WITH AN OFFICE SHREDDER IS JUST NOT ENOUGH

The unfortunate incident of strips of shredded paper with discernible sensitive information floating around at the Thanksgiving Day parade in New York underscores the importance of using the proper equipment for shredding and the use of proper disposal procedures.  Many offices insist that they take care of their own shredding but they do not realize that pieces of shredded paper placed in the dumpster outside of their business can be reconstructed manually or by a computer program by someone intent on using that information for fraudulent purposes.  SelectShred uses a mobile industrial shredder to shred your sensitive documents at your location.  The shredded materials are mixed with many other shredded documents and recycled at the end of the day.  This procedure makes it impossible for your information to be reconstructed or traced back to your office.
