The start of a new year brings new resolutions.  What better time to address information management and secure shredding services in Houston Texas!  Did you know that a recycling program is not the same as a destruction program.  Many of the recyclers will tell their clients that their information will be destroyed during the recycling process.  The question that should be asked is “Where do our documents go after the recycler picks them up?  Who has access to those documents?”  Most people are unaware that recyclers bale white paper perfectly intact and the bales are shipped overseas.  Shipping containers arrive from China packed with goods to be sold in the United States and are returned packed with recycled paper.  Those bales of paper and their contents find their way to Chinese ports.  Scared?  You better be.   Through the years China has been notorious with stealing proprietary information, Identity theft, and the biggest threat these days is cyber attacks.  Think of all the back doors that a team of hackers could discover into your network from discarded printed emails.  It’s happening thousands of times a day.  So as we embark on the New Year, be smart and let a Houston Shredding services company help you protect yourself, your company, and your clients.

It’s Superbowl time!  Since our Texans will not be making an appearance this year, we wish both teams good luck on their journey.  We here at On-Site Shred are hoping to see some wide receivers shred up some DB’s and hopefully some running backs shred some Mike linebackers.  We love to watch offensives shred things up.  Not to say we do not like good defense either, we love to watch the defense pulverize opposing players.  So until our beloved Texans find their way to the big show, we wish both teams good luck in Superbowl 45!

Paper shredding is something that protects privacy as well as the planet.  The biggest way to deter identity theft is by document shredding.  No matter what scale you use paper shredding on it is in an important part of discarding old paperwork for both home and business.  There are a number of great Houston shredding companies that would be more than happy to come to you and help you sort out your documents for shredding. They pride themselves on being trustworthy and taking care of their customers’ private needs when it comes to paper destruction.

The shredding services Houston offers can come to your home or office bringing the shredder with them.  They can work right on the premises to clean up the old paperwork that has been hanging around or can set up a schedule with you to make continued visits on a regular basis to come to you and remove the valuable documents.  This is a great way to keep your clients privacy secure and to keep you at the top of the list in their book as far a business that they would trust to have their back.  This creates a sense of loyalty among customers and clients.

Once the documents are removed from your business or home and shredded to small pieces that could never be recognized let alone put back together, the pulp remaining is shipped off to one of the paper recycling Houston based plants to be cleaned and processed into a usable material.  This material is then used by manufacturers to create new products for the stores all over the country to sell.  This is great for the environment and your customer relations.  For individuals in their homes they can feel safe in knowing that their privacy is safe and that their identity belongs to only them.

Without recycling efforts like the paper shredding companies are putting forth, the planet would be in sad shape on the green front.  The economy is becoming more and more of a consideration for business owners in their every day decisions.  The efforts they are taking to keep the planet healthy are a great testament to how they do business and actually will keep many customers and clients loyal to them.  This is one of the best ways to ensure that the customers understand the dedication that they have to moving forward with the times and taking action when it is required.

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.
