Secure Destruction Services

We must exclude certain materials that will harm our machines and/or are unfit for our responsible recycling/disposal methods. This is why we reserve the right to reject any material that’s not suitable for the shredding and recycling process. We have high standards for safety and proper materials management. Before arranging services with us, please take a look at the following list of unacceptable materials. We cannot accept three-ring binders, metal hanging folders, spiral-bound notebooks, metals, plastics, batteries, non-paper items such as trash, paper products with food on them, or wet/moldy materials.

This is a common concern about paper shredding. You don’t want to accidentally destroy something that turns out to be valuable later. Perhaps you’re worried that even though you follow retention rules, like those under FERPA, you might still need certain documents for a future legal or business situation. You may also run a type of business where it’s vital to save clients’ records forever, yet you’re overwhelmed with physical files. To address these concerns, we can digitally preserve your documents to prevent potential data loss. Through a partnership with IMS Technology Group, we can scan, store, and save information before continuing with document shredding. Throughout this process, we continue to maintain the highest data integrity and confidentiality standards so you can move forward to the shredding stage. We help you shred your documents with confidence.

Please opt for professional shredding whenever it’s possible and environmentally responsible. This is the best way to protect your company’s information and preserve your clients’ privacy, plus it helps keep the planet healthy. IMS Shredding can advise you on which materials are shreddable/recyclable and which are not. One of the biggest risks with throwing paperwork and documentation into the trash is that it’s not secure shredding. Even a regular in-office shredder does a poor job of document destruction. Someone could access confidential information and steal your private data. Instead, work with IMS Shredding to maintain peace of mind and stay within regulatory compliance with standards like HIPAA, FERPA, and PCI.

It’s natural to wonder whether you can trust us with your confidential documents and private data. Let us reassure you that we hold the highest paperwork protection and handling standards. We work with some of the world’s most heavily regulated types of organizations like hospitals, schools, universities, and financial institutions. We have more than a decade’s worth of experience following standards like HIPAA, FERPA, and PCI. We’re Triple-A certified by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID), and our CEO and founder, Vince, is one of only a handful of people to sit on Filebound’s national advisory board. We voluntarily invite inspectors into our business to have them check every part of our shredding operation.
