In past years, before the internet, you might have been able to get away with throwing away company paperwork in the trash, but if you do that now you’re just asking for trouble. The smallest scraps of information can be used by identity thieves and computer hackers to do damage to you personally and your company as a whole.

Mobile shredding is shredding taken to another level. Decreasing the number of people who handle your documents before they are destroyed increases security. With fewer eyes to view what is actually on those sheets of paper, there is significantly less of a chance that the minds behind those eyes register the fact that the information has a cash value to it. If they are not in the market for it themselves, they could still sell it. Everyone has a home computer today and times are pretty tough for a lot of folks.

No one wants to think about their trusted employees turning into thieves and scavengers, but the waste baskets inside your office are a goldmine of information for anyone looking to find information on your company, your workers, or your customers. If you’re not shredding documents you are just leaving them around for all to see. Balling them up and throwing them in the waste paper basket is not eliminating the possibility of someone getting their hands on them. It’s making it easier for them.

A shredding company is part of your security team, a partner in a world where you need a professional to handle the destruction of your documents and the recycling of the paper those documents are printed on. PRSS can be that partner you are looking for. Our mobile shredding trucks are the most secure way you will find to dispose of all the paperwork which contains information that can be used to hurt you, your employees, and your customers. You have a legal obligation to protect that information, but it’s also responsible business to pay attention to it.

These are important questions when you are contemplating the hiring of a shredding company. The choices are in your hands and dependent upon the level of work you want to do and whether or not you have the manpower and the budgets to do it.

You are required by California State law to shred any material that has private personal information on it such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, or other information that can be used for computer hacking or identity theft. These documents are generally used in specific departments so you’ll want to set up “Shred It” boxes in human resources, finance, and credit departments. You’ll also want to go over the guidelines of the law with your employees.

Archiving is usually done electronically now instead of the old fashioned way, which was storing everything in file cabinets. External hard drives and secure online storage facilities are far more space conservative than buying new furniture. Documents that need to be saved can be scanned and then the originals can be discarded after being separated into mandatory shred or not mandatory. It’s time consuming but you will achieve your goals of tighter security by doing it this way.

You could also skip all the sorting and just have PRSS shred all of the paperwork you use in your office. We provide our customers secure containers which they use as waste baskets for paper. When your employees throw paper away, any paper of any level of importance, they can use these bins. Our mobile shredding truck will show up on a regular cycle and empty them into the shredder while we are there. Your intact documentation will never leave the site. It will be shredded and then the shreds will be transported to a recycling facility to be turned into blank sheets of paper again.

Do you think that someone might be crawling into your dumpster at night to get that information? Is your waste bin or recycling box looking a little emptier in the morning than it was when you left last night? Most businesses don’t have Mission Impossible intrusions in the middle of the night, but dumpster diving and trash picking are real methods of industrial espionage that people do practice. Document shredding eliminates the possibility of them being successful.

You are most vulnerable in your trash. Police officers conducting investigations can go through someone’s trash and find out everything about them. If you put items like cancelled checks, job applications, or credit applications with personal bank account information on them out in the trash, you can expect to have them stolen. As a business in California, you are actually required by law now to destroy those documents by using a shredding service or personal shredding machine. With the service you get a certificate of shredding as proof.

You could buy a big dog and have it watch your dumpster at night, but then you’d have to feed it and it might bite an employee. You could install a fence around the dumpster, but once a thief was over it, the fence would just provide cover for the thievery. Your best bet is to hire a mobile shredding company and have us come to you on a regular basis to pick up and destroy your documents. That way, dumpster diver will get nothing when he jumps in there late at night and anyone in your office raiding waste baskets will be forced to actually work for a living.

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.]]> http://www.mobileshred.net/blog/index.php?entry=entry100830-102632 admin Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:26:32 GMT http://www.mobileshred.net/blog/comments.php?y=10&m=08&entry=entry100830-102632 http://www.mobileshred.net/blog/index.php?entry=entry100823-100740
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.]]> http://www.mobileshred.net/blog/index.php?entry=entry100823-100740 admin Mon, 23 Aug 2010 14:07:40 GMT http://www.mobileshred.net/blog/comments.php?y=10&m=08&entry=entry100823-100740 http://www.mobileshred.net/blog/index.php?entry=entry100816-094341 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.

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. ]]> http://www.mobileshred.net/blog/index.php?entry=entry100809-223657 admin Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:36:57 GMT http://www.mobileshred.net/blog/comments.php?y=10&m=08&entry=entry100809-223657 http://www.mobileshred.net/blog/index.php?entry=entry100802-213435 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.

Every time you move documents that contain sensitive personal or company information, you are running the risk of compromise. Thieves can get their hands on those documents at any one of the stops or even in transit. Identity thieves and hackers have been known to get pretty creative.

Mobile shredding is one of the best ways to combat theft of documents in transit. Using the PRSS system, you can place your paperwork directly into one of our secure containers inside your office and then forget about it. That is the last time that any of those documents will see the light of day. Containers are emptied directly into our shredding trucks and then the shreds are sent out for recycling.

The shredding Los Angeles businesses request from us has to be secure. Many of them are bound by law to destroy records with customer and client information on them. The responsibility for the confidentiality of that information lies with the company that collects it. Even a certificate of shredding doesn’t exempt them from legal action because many shredding companies outsource work. Some companies don’t even shred at their own location, never mind send a mobile truck to do it at yours.

Your security and the integrity of your records are dependent upon those who handle your documentation. If less hands and eyes are coming in contact with sensitive data contained in your files, there will be less chances of one of those people being dishonest and stealing that information. Identity theft is responsible for the loss of millions of consumer dollars every year and there are quite a few unscrupulous individuals out there making a lot of money off it. By limiting the number of stops your paperwork has to make before destruction you can help stop some of that from happening.

All of those documents which you are legally obligated to shred, the job applications, credit forms, survey cards, and invoices with personal information on them, can go into our mobile shredding trucks and disappear forever. Even better, the paper that they are printed on will show up again as recycled reams that saved a few trees from getting cut down.

The benefits of shredding are clear to anyone who has had to deal with the accumulated mess of months and years of records piling up in a storeroom or filling up file cabinets throughout the office. It always seems that there should be an easier way, particularly in this age of technology that allows us to duplicate and miniaturize everything. There is. Scan anything you need a copy of and have our shredding service get rid of all the originals for you. If you are legally obligated to destroy the original without making an electronic copy, then do it. You don’t need it anyway.

You can also get rid of any of the paper documents that you usually throw in the waste paper basket to be taken away by the regular disposal service. Instead of worrying about separating paper, just have all of it placed into one of our secure bins and marked for document destruction. Even if it’s not sensitive material, we still shred it and recycle it, so it’s worth it for you to give it to us. Our mobile shredding trucks are coming to your office anyway, so you’re not asking anything extra of us to pick up everything.

How much paper does your company go through on any given day? What about during a week, or a month? If you’re just throwing that waste away without recycling you are definitely contributing to environmental damage and you’re putting yourself at risk of someone getting valuable personal or company information directly out of the dumpster. It happens every day. Your competitors would love to get their hands on even the smallest clue to what you are thinking and what direction your company is heading in. Shredding can prevent that from happening.
