We use a small office shredder. Isn’t that good enough?
Manually shredding documents is costly,laborious and wastes valuable employee time. It is neither efficient nor cost effective for your employees to stand over an office shredder, dropping a few pages at a time into a low-power consumer-grade shredder. A good consumer-grade shredder shreds roughly 20 lbs. of paper per hour. It would take you around 3 hours to shred a case of paper. Our shredder destroys up to 5000 lbs. per hour. Worst of all, the standard office shredder rips documents into 5/8″ strips, which can be easily reconstructed. How long should I retain my records? The information listed below should only be used as a guide to document retention and records management. Rules may vary by industry.
