How Does Ongoing Shredding Work?
If your business regularly handles confidential documents, ongoing shredding is one of the easiest and most secure ways to protect sensitive information. Instead of waiting until boxes of paperwork pile up, scheduled shredding provides a simple, consistent solution that keeps your office organized while helping you comply with privacy laws.
At Time Shred Services, we make ongoing shredding convenient for businesses of every size. Whether you’re a law firm, medical office, accounting practice, financial institution, school, or any organization that creates confidential paperwork, our recurring shredding service ensures your information is securely destroyed on a schedule that works for you.
What Is Ongoing Shredding?
Ongoing shredding, also known as scheduled shredding, is a recurring document destruction service. Rather than calling every time you need documents shredded, Time Shred places secure, locked collection containers throughout your office. Employees simply place confidential papers into these containers as they go about their day.
On your scheduled service day, one of our professional shredding technicians arrives at your location with a mobile shredding truck. The contents of each container are emptied directly into the truck and shredded immediately on-site, allowing you to witness the destruction of your confidential information.
The entire process is secure, efficient, and designed to eliminate the risk of sensitive documents ending up in the trash or recycling.
How the Process Works
Our ongoing shredding service is designed to be simple:
-
We Evaluate Your Needs
Every business is different. We help determine the number and type of secure collection containers you’ll need based on your office size, document volume, and workflow.
-
We Deliver Secure Containers
We place locked consoles or collection bins throughout your office in convenient locations. These containers remain locked to protect sensitive information until your scheduled service.
-
Employees Deposit Documents
Instead of using wastebaskets, employees simply place confidential documents into the locked containers. There’s no need to remove staples, paper clips, rubber bands, folders, or sealed envelopes.
-
We Arrive on Your Schedule
Time Shred visits your office on a schedule that fits your business. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or customized service frequencies depending on your needs.
-
Your Documents Are Shredded On-Site
Our uniformed, background-checked technician wheels each locked container directly to our mobile shredding truck. Using an automated lifting system, the contents are emptied into the industrial shredder and destroyed immediately while you can watch the entire process if you choose.
-
You Receive a Certificate of Destruction
After each service, you receive a Certificate of Destruction documenting that your confidential records were securely destroyed in accordance with industry standards.
Who Benefits from Ongoing Shredding?
Recurring shredding is ideal for organizations that routinely generate confidential paperwork, including:
- Medical and dental offices
- Hospitals and healthcare providers
- Law firms
- Accounting and CPA firms
- Banks and financial institutions
- Insurance agencies
- Schools and universities
- Government agencies
- Property management companies
- Any business that handles customer or employee information
Even businesses that are becoming more digital continue to generate paper records containing sensitive information that should never be discarded in regular trash containers.
Why Businesses Choose Scheduled Shredding
There are many advantages to ongoing shredding.
Better Security
Locked collection containers prevent confidential documents from being viewed, misplaced, or accidentally thrown away.
Easier Compliance
Businesses subject to HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA, and other privacy regulations can demonstrate that sensitive information is being destroyed securely on a consistent basis.
Saves Time
Employees simply drop documents into the secure containers. There is no need to store boxes of paper or schedule one-time cleanouts every few months.
Cleaner Offices
Regular shredding keeps storage rooms, file cabinets, and work areas from becoming cluttered with outdated paperwork.
Predictable Costs
Recurring service provides consistent pricing with no surprises, making it easier to budget for secure document destruction.
