Off site shredding companies may have secure state of the art buildings with multi cross shredders for extra protection, but the machines are only beneficial if the documents make it to the destruction site. The only way to ensure the destruction of your documents is if shredding occurs prior to the materials leaving the premises.
Several variables need to be accounted for when transferring documents between locations. Each variable increases the risk of documents being exposed to the wrong people. Examples of such variables include: dependability of the destruction company’s truck drivers, durability of the container being transferred, a locked or unlocked container, proper use of the truck’s doors and locks.
Due to a broken latch on the back door of a truck, financial information, including checks went flying all over the Bangerter highway. Local authorities did their best to gather all the documents, but there are no guarantees. This incident creates a lot of extra work for the bank, having to contact everyone who may have had something in that bin; but worse than that, the increased possibility of identity theft leaves panic and insecurity in their customers, which may cause loss of business.

Faulty locks aren’t the only cause for identity theft hazards. There is no probable way for you to be sure the documents are being disposed of properly. Many of the off site shredding companies also store documents. There is the potential that your box of documents that was meant to be destroyed gets put on a shelf with another company’s stored documents and shipped off to them when they request the return of their materials.
When contracting with an off site shredding company you are gambling with your, and or your company’s, most confidential materials. It is not viable for you to be sure all your documents make it to the shredder. Some of the materials may end up in the garbage bin prior to destruction. Just one piece of paper, containing the right information, landing in the wrong hands results in identity theft. Do you want to leave that much responsibility on the employees of a company that isn’t yours?
On site shredding companies eliminate these risk factors. One may try to argue the dependability of the destruction company’s driver could still play into effect. Go Green Mobile Shredding has done away with this risk, by hiring credible individuals with clean backgrounds, and allowing the customer to watch their files be destroyed, if they choose.

Since February, the OC Register has printed multiple articles on a Corona Del Mar mortgage firm, Seaview Financial, which dumped an estimated 350 clients files into recycling bins at an elementary school. The files containing personal information including social security numbers, bank transactions, credit reports and other information were thought to have been sitting in the open for three days. This puts Seaview Financial’s clients at a high risk for identity theft.
Owner, , claims he hired a company to burn the paperwork and is not liable for what that company did with it. The articles outline that, Reed would not present a receipt or give the name of the company he worked with.
In the spirit of good faith and American patriotism, let us assume Reed is innocent until proven guilty, and trust that he contracted with a paper destruction company. His liability falls on researching the company and knowing where his clients’ personal information goes when it leaves his office. Reed is liable for his customers documents and is learning his lesson the hard way; his mortgage license may be in jeopardy of being suspended or revoked. Reed may also have to pay for each of the clients to have identity theft protection for several years.
If you don’t know what happens to your documents when they leave your office, now is the time to find out. If your current paper destruction company cannot show you what happens to your company’s confidential documents and clients’ personal information, find a new destruction company.
For those in the greater Los Angeles and Orange County area, contact Go Green Mobile Shredding. Go Green lets you watch your documents be destroyed, if you choose, and presents you with a Certificate of Destruction upon completion. Go Green then goes that extra step to do their part in protecting our environment by delivering the destroyed documents to a certified recycling facility, in their top of the line emission controlled diesel engine trucks.
If you are outside the area, be sure to contract with a company that is a licensed and bonded paper destruction company that follows strict legislative mandates such as HIPPA and FACTA.
Don’t put your clients, company, or yourself at risk.

It is out of utter laziness that I throw my own junk mail in the trash prior to destruction. I, like many of you, am not void of the “it won’t happen to me” mentality. This is why I challenge you to dig through your own trash and see how many documents you tossed that violate the rules of shredding!
Identity theft is and has been the number one growing crime in America for several years. Government programs, companies and personal shredders are all there to help protect us from identity theft, but we have to start to help ourselves in order for them to be effective.
When you get to work, if you aren’t there already, go through the trash bin in your copy room/center. Count the number of documents that contain customer information, including customer names and or contact information, contract information, or marketing and sales information. If you count one, that is too many and your company is at risk. You and your company are responsible for keeping that information confidential and out of harms way. Personal and private information should be kept that way. You and your company should be more careful with others information than you are with your own. You want that from the companies you give your information to.
These common, but detrimental, slip ups are easily resolved by replacing garbage cans with shredding bins for all paper products and leaving garbage cans only in the kitchens and restrooms.
It is easy, cost effective and efficient for a company to shred everything, rather than let someone else’s personal information revealed because an employee didn’t realize the repercussions of throwing away that piece of paper prior to destruction.
As for you at home, it’s your identity and therefore your choice, but taking a couple extra seconds to properly destroy your junk mail is well worth avoiding the possible destruction of your identity.
If you are in the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas, please contact Go Green Mobile Shredding for a personalized quote for all your shredding needs. Go Green is a certified shredding company that also gives back to the environment by recycling all the destroyed materials.
