  • – Proposals for new products or services
  • – Competitive research
• Operating income and expense records, including
  • – Accounts receivable
  • – Bills
  • – Payment records
• Sales data, including
  • – Invoices
  • – Price lists
  • – Customer lists
• Legal records, such as
  • – Business audit records
  • – Tax documents
  • – Annual financial statements and reports
• Customer records, including
  • – Invoices
  • – Credit information
  • – Cancelled cheques
• Miscellaneous documents, such as
  • – Advertising copy
  • – Archival files and records

Unlike common shredders, which work primarily by cutting materials into strips, our top-of-the-line machines offer cross-cut shredding. This reduces your materials to tiny pieces — approximately 12 millimeters in size — making our disposal process much more definitive and secure.

We are so confident about our process that we offer two guarantees:

• We welcome you to come or send a member of your staff to oversee our process in person as your materials are shredded.
• Once your information has been destroyed, we will provide you with a Certificate of Destruction, documenting the material’s “chain of custody.”

Yes, we have no limit on the size of jobs we accept, and we are happy to help you with your one- time, occasional, annual, or regularly scheduled needs.

Yes, we also offer temporary secure storage services for materials that are scheduled to be disposed of but not quite yet.
