Why Shredding Matters for Your Business
Shredding isn’t just about getting rid of clutter—it’s about protecting your clients, your staff, and your business. Whether you operate in a regulated industry or not, proper disposal of confidential information is a critical step in preventing data breaches and complying with privacy laws.
Here’s why shredding matters:
- Protects against fraud and identity theft by fully destroying sensitive information
- Ensures legal compliance with HIPAA, GLBA, FACTA, and other privacy regulations
- Minimizes risk exposure from improperly discarded documents
- Reduces liability and builds client trust in your data handling practices
From payroll files and tax records to contracts and customer lists, if it contains personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, or confidential details, it should be shredded—not recycled.

If your business generates sensitive paperwork weekly or monthly (like payroll, contracts, or client files), a recurring service with locked collection bins is probably the best option. If you’re cleaning out storage or closing a location, a one-time purge is more appropriate.
