Mobile Shredding for Your Home
Mobile shredding is one of the best ways that properly and conveniently destroy your confidential paperwork. See how it works here.
Believe it or not, there are millions of identity theft cases reported each year. Most of these cases result from the lack of taking practical steps to protect one’s confidential information around the home or office.
Papers containing your personal information, including documents such as tax forms, pay statements, receipts, and the like are items that many people fear of throwing away in case they may become necessary in the future. While holding onto some of these documents may come in handy in the future, most of them are retained for longer than needed and enter the collection of “junk” in people’s homes.
Whether you have a stack of papers in your basement, storage room, or closet, many of these papers containing sensitive data become jumbled in with other seemingly useless papers like newspapers and junk mail.

Protecting Your Identity with Document Shredding
Document shredding services are a common method of secure destruction for businesses who produce and manage physical papers in the workplace, but it’s not just for the office. Shredding services are a growing industry thanks to the growing number of identity thefts, and many homes are also utilizing the service.
For 1-3 boxes of papers that you may have laying around, drop off shredding locations are the most economical and convenient method of document destruction. Simply find one near you (there are usually multiple locations in every city) and drop your papers off to be shredded.

For the hoarders out there who have accidentally (or purposely) accumulated larger volumes of papers, the mobile shredding service is the safest and most affordable solution.
With mobile shredding, a truck comes directly to your location and shreds all your documents while you watch. The trained professionals pick up your documents in bins that are dumped into the shredding machine that is built into the truck. All your documents are completely shredded for absolute security, then hauled off to be recycled into new paper.
