It’s 2011!  While we here at On-Site Shred are trying to embrace the new “social” aspect of keeping in touch with our fellow Houstonians, talking about shredding can get a little boring at times.  We provide shredding services in Houston and we take a lot of pride in our security measures and our customer service.  We love to talk shop, but also realize there are other things to talk about.  Houston is the third largest city in this great nation so it provides lots of avenues for discussion.  We are very lucky to have so many great restaurants throughout the city.  What is your favorite restaurant and why?

Paper shredding is not just the simple act of tearing up old paper to be disposed of.  It goes much further than that.  Document shredding is a twofold business of keeping confidential information safe by complete destruction and working to create a healthier planet by recycling efforts.  These are the key forces behind the paper shredding services Houston has to offer individuals.  This is the basis for the evolution of the document shredding industry as it stands today.

Through the use of amazing technological advances and a better understanding of how important the process is, the shredding of documents has come a substantial way from what it was ten years ago.  The paper recycling Houston companies offer is no longer the simple process of collecting the trash and taking it off to be remanufactured into another product. Houston shredding is vital to businesses that have clients and customers with confidential documentation that needs to be eliminated and made impossible for individuals to get their hands on.

It’s not just about a shredder any longer.  Now you can hire a Houston shredding company to come to your location on a regular basis or when you decide you need them to appear and remove your sensitive confidential information and destroy it.  This can mean that they will roll up in a mobile shredding vehicle and unload the paper from the building straight into the back of a shredder and destroy it in minutes.  This paper is then taken away to a recycling holding station.  At some point the materials, which are completely destroyed and unable to be put back together with no chance of prying eyes making heads or tails of the remains, is cleaned and processed turning it into a substance that will be used for production of other paper products.

This is an amazing stretch from where the process was ten years ago and shows the dedication that much of the world has for saving the planet from further harm by thoughtless waste.  And in the process the clients and customers of the businesses are happy to know that their documents and company information is safely destroyed and of no use to anyone wishing to do them harm by identity theft or any of the other unthinkable crimes.  The conscious choice by business owners to use a shredding company to recycle the useless information and keeping their clients safe from harm shows great dedication by the business owner and this will be respected by the employees and the clients and customers alike.

It’s that time of year, time to rotate the records and make room for the new.  Wondering which documents should be shredded?  All Texas businesses are required to have a retention policy on file.  Please click “here” for guidance on retention schedules.  We are offering discounts throughout the month of January, please contact us and a document destruction specialists can answer any questions you may have and/or schedule a destruction time.

Nobody shreds it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody shreds it, half the size as you
Baby, you’re the best

I wasn’t shredding‘ but somehow you found me
It tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me
The shredder who loved me
Is keepin’ all my secrets safe tonight

And nobody shreds it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why’d you have to be so good?
