Theft, vandalism, and industrial espionage are becoming ever increasing security problems. With the increased use of office copiers and computers, staggering amounts of sensitive information is being generated and carelessly discarded.

Dun's Review estimates corporate espionage cost US businesses over $7 billion in losses yearly.

Many businesses choose to implement an internal shredding program, which is almost always a bad idea. We receive many frequent calls for help from businesses who try to implement a do it themselves program. The lack of foresight and underestimation of the time it takes to shred causes many problems, primarily great losses of money, loss of revenues, loss of productivity, and even loss of employees.

Even with high-end office shredders, it can take very very long periods of time to shred paper. Employees tend to shrug off the annoyance as much as possible-which means that sensitive documents almost always end up in the trash. Employees who are paid to shred most always cost more than a shredding service. We have prepared many cost analyses of internally based versus service based shredding programs, and the results are never close.

Get It Shredded's service is dramatically faster, easier, and less costly than in-house programs. You can literally spent months shredding what Get It Shredded does in hours.
