Every business discards information on a regular basis. The challenge is to ensure that the information is protected from unauthorized access. This includes phone messages, daily transactions reports, customer lists, business records, copies of documents, receipts, memos, logs and data and junk mail. If they are not properly destroyed, the information they contain can bring harm to everyone involved, including employees, shareholders, customers and even you as the business owner or manager. When you hire an on site document destruction company like APEX Shredding Inc. you are assured of the most secure shredding process available.

Why Use An Information Destruction Contractor?

• Employees are more productive when focused on their core responsibilities.
• Safety- even small machines could cause injury if they grab clothing or accessories.
• Reduced capital and employment expenditures.
• Employees are most likely to realize the value of discarded company information.
• Company information such as payroll, legal and employment issues and correspondence should not be exposed to most employees.
• In-house shredding will not handle large volumes and may prompt employees to circumvent the destruction process.

The National Association for Information Destruction members hold themselves to a higher standard. We are bound to a strict code of conduct. As industry professionals we take our business and your trust seriously.

Why Not Just Recycle Information? While NAID members recycle everything we can after we destroy it, recycling alone does not establish the necessary requirements of information destruction such as:

• how it was destroyed
• where it was destroyed
• who destroyed it
• when it was destroyed
• legal chain of custody
• fiduciary obligations
