Hiring a professional paper shredding service is a solution to the problem. You won’t have to stay late and shred documents yourself in the middle of the night and you won’t have to put your employees in a position where they can compromise your security. You are required by law to shred certain documents and you are legally responsible if the information from those documents gets out and harms the parties it pertains to.
A mobile shredding service is one step better than a stationary service that you have to bring your documents and paperwork to for destruction. By picking up the paperwork slated for shredding, the mobile shredding company eliminates the possibility of those documents being stolen, lost or viewed in transit. This method also cuts down on the number of hands that touch your paperwork and the number of eyes that see it. The last person to actually touch your documents will be the person who works for you who originated or reviewed it. Our people just empty the containers into the shredder.
How much potentially damaging information is contained in the documents that you view every single day? Your human resources department might go through a thousand job applications in the course of a year. Each of them has someone’s social security number, name, address, telephone number, even next of kin information. There is enough data on each of them to apply for credit cards, get new identification, or hack into a personal bank account. To spend someone else’s money, all you need is the tracking and routing numbers from their checking account. Document shredding eliminates the possibility of anyone getting that information from you.

( 0 / 0 )For centuries now, the way that we have disposed of waste has been simple. Throw it into a trash receptacle of some kind and a waste pick-up or a removal company will come by and get it. Landfills or incinerators will make it disappear and we never have to think about it again. The common belief has always been that as long as we weren’t piling trash in the streets we were being environmentally responsible. Today, we know that is not the case. Landfills contain poisons and toxins that are killing the soil and incinerators are polluting the air and burning off the ozone layer.
Our paper shredding Riverside services include recycling of all of the paper our mobile units shred for you. As a matter of fact, our shredding services in all communities includes recycling, because that is what we do to help control the problems of disposing of waste and conserving our natural resources. As a Green Company and a service provider for the greater Los Angeles area, we know that we need to take some responsibility for our area’s problems and give our clients the option of joining in the effort to help solve them.
Not all shredding services recycle. Many of them don’t even shred on their own premises. They outsource the work to other companies, a security risk to you and a sure bet that your paper isn’t being recycled. There are laws that regulate the shredding of documents with personal information on them, but unfortunately there are none right now that prevent a shredding company from off-loading their workload to someone else. Your documents may be destroyed in good faith, but passing them through that many hands and in front of that many eyes increases the chance of compromise.
To eliminate the possibility of documents being stolen or duplicated by identity thieves and hackers, PRSS has created a disposal system that ensures the fewest number of people will handle your paperwork before shredding. We provide you with secure bins to put it in and then we send a mobile shredding truck to destroy it for you at your location. Your document will go from the hand of the person who printed or perused it last for you directly into our shedding truck for destruction and recycling soon after that.

( 0 / 0 )If you’re looking for another way to Go Green, you need look no further than your local paper shredding company. In 2009, PRSS recycled over thirty million pounds of paper that was shredded by our mobile units. Thousands of trees were saved as a result of our endeavors and we are proud to classify ourselves as a Green Company. If you’ve been examining options for the disposal of your sensitive documents and other paperwork, we hope that we will be at the top of your list.
There is more than one reason to use a shredding service to eliminate paper waste in your office. Even the documents that don’t contain personal, private, or company information on them are still valuable. They are printed on a natural resource which we are using faster than we are producing. Thankfully, more and more businesses are going to a paperless system now, but we’re still consuming billions of pounds of paper every year which comes from our forests and woodlands.
PRSS is a business, not an environmental agency, but we all breathe the same air and that air is supplied to us by the trees and plants that grow on our planet. As a company, we feel it’s our responsibility to pay attention to the need to conserve the precious resources of our forested areas. It is for that reason that we recycle everything and we encourage our clients to let us pick up all paper, not just those sensitive documents you have to shred. Our mobile shredding trucks can take it all.
If everyone recycled and used recycled paper, we would never have to cut down another tree. Living in Los Angeles, it might be difficult to imagine the fresh, clean air that we’d have if we let our woodlands grow strong again, but if you go up in the hills or to the forests of the north you’ll understand. Environmental consciousness and conservation is important. Recycling is just one more way we can help save this planet. The destruction of wooded areas across the world has been slowed somewhat by new laws and environmental awareness, but it still goes on.

( 0 / 0 )If you ask regular employees to perform tasks that affect the day to day security of your office, you may not get the results that you desire. They may agree that there is a need or even an obligation to shred certain documents, but their concerns are not the same as your concerns. That is not the case when you hire a mobile shredding company. Your privacy and security are always our primary concerns.
Let’s face it. When you need something done right, you have to do it yourself or hire someone who specializes in that one particular task. PRSS is a shredding service. That is our only job. The shredding Pasadena businesses seek from us is a service that requires confidentiality and integrity. When we provide you with a certificate of shredding you can be certain that everything you gave to us was destroyed. You can even watch us do it. One of our shredding trucks will be in your parking lot when the process takes place.
To be certain that your documents don’t find their way into the wrong hands, you need to limit the number of places that they travel to. That is why a mobile shredding company is a good option. Our trucks come to you. You’ll be provided with secure containers to store your discarded paperwork in until those trucks arrive and then you can watch if you like as our workers take those containers outside and shred the paper inside them on the spot. Our people don’t handle your documents for long. The entire procedure takes only minutes.
Document destruction is a field of expertise. It is an industry that is required in the state of California to help businesses of all sizes to comply with the laws that require shredding. If you accumulate any type of paperwork which includes social security numbers, credit card numbers, or even private addresses, you need to have those destroyed on a regular basis. It’s one of the best ways to prevent the theft and misuse of personal information.

( 0 / 0 )If you’re like most folks, you’re probably asking this question as you read all about us. Why would you hire a mobile shredding service instead of just buying a paper shredder? It would be a lot cheaper, right? On the surface it might appear to be, but the cost of losing a document you’re required by law to destroy might have you wishing you had spent those few extra pennies to have a professional handle that particular task.
Document shredding is not a casual activity that should be performed on a Friday afternoon by a group of janitors or clerks drinking beer. You might not think that any of those employees moonlight as identity thieves or hackers, but everyone has a home computer these days. Some of the best computer hackers in the world hold regular day jobs just like that so they can gather information about their intended targets. What better place to do that than in your office when you’re not there?
The imagery may seem a bit extreme and the scenario is perhaps not one you could visualize in your office, but it happens every Friday in thousands of offices across the United States and around the world. Business owners and managers that are obligated to destroy documents don’t want to take the time on their own to do it and at the same time don’t want to pay for a service to come in and do it for them. They delegate document destruction to low level employees and then go home for the weekend.
A smart thief will take information and make sure that it can’t be tracked back to his or her job; so much of this type of identity theft or industrial espionage is never detected. It can, however, be prevented by hiring a professional to destroy documents. The cost of doing it is comparable to the cost of paying employees for the man-hours and far more secure. Try it for a while and you can see for yourself. If one of your Friday afternoon employees quits unexpectedly after you do, you might want to have him checked out for priors. He probably has most of your client list on his home computer.
