Active, semi-active and archival business records all have retention requirements driven by compliance, regulatory and legal needs. And just because documents and files have reached the end of their retention lifecycle, that doesn’t mean they are free of sensitive and confidential information. Therefore, your records should always be disposed of in a secure and timely manner.

Records disposal should preserve the privacy of your information without compromising internal resources and productivity. Although, as is often the case, the shredding of documents in-house often takes time away from revenue-generating projects and  also increases the risk of your information falling into the wrong hands.

Secure collection and disposal of your documents and files

Docu-Dépôt offers a cost-effective solution with our offsite plant shredding service. We securely shred your business records at our secure facility where our mobile shredding truck employs hybrid technology to shred your documents in an energy-efficient manner using hydro-electric power rather than diesel fuel.  For each destruction project we follow the same regimented pickup, handling, and transportation procedures that we implement in our records storage processes. These procedures are designed to ensure the confidentiality and security of your information at every step. Our information security protocols are supported with:

One-time purge or scheduled destruction of your records

Whether you have a one-time purge project or ongoing shredding needs, we provide you with the resources and expertise needed for securely shredding your business records. Locked shredding consoles or bins can be strategically placed within your office to facilitate convenient and secure collection of documents and files. There’s no need to remove staples, paper clips, folders, etc. All material is placed within a container until collection time.

Once your shred containers are filled, a uniformed Docu-Dépôt professional will securely transport them to our facility where the contents are destroyed within 24 hours by our high-speed, industrial-grade shredding machine. A Certificate of Destruction is issued upon completion.

Just as records and information management needs are unique for each business, so too are the individual requirements for the disposal of confidential documents. Some companies may prefer to have their records shredded at their business premises. Docu-Dépôt offers an onsite mobile shredding solution that enables the secure destruction of your files at your facility.

An accumulation of unsecured and undestroyed documents can put your company and your clients at risk. Our onsite mobile shredding solution eliminates the time-consuming process of feeding documents through an office shredding machine and eliminates the following threats:

The advantages of a mobile shredding solution

In-house attempts to shred confidential records frequently fail due to inadequate equipment and lack of oversight. With our onsite mobile shredding solution, there’s no need to invest in unreliable office shredders that drain staff productivity. We supply the labor, industrial-strength equipment, and information destruction expertise for you so that you can continue to focus on serving your customers and generating revenue.

A thorough, secure and green destruction process for your business

Prior to the shredding process, we strategically place shredding consoles within your office to facilitate secure and convenient collection of confidential records. According to a schedule that best meets your business’ needs, a screened Docu-Dépôt professional will arrive at your facility with one of our mobile destruction trucks. All documents and files are collected and shredded—paper clips, staples and all—in a matter of minutes. You can even witness the entire destruction process first hand, or receive a USB drive with a recording that you can view later!

Upon completion of your shredding project, you’ll be issued a Certificate of Destruction documenting the destruction of your records. Docu-Dépôt bales and recycles all shredded material, thus enabling you to meet your disposal and recycling needs all at once.
