Why Document Destruction in Louisville is Crucial

At A Plus Paper Shredding, document destruction is serious business. Our shredding services are based on the core belief that your, and your customer's, privacy is the most important thing in the world.

Why shred?

“Dumpster diving,” or rifling through trash cans for personal information, is a tactic used by identity thieves. You are taking a terrible risk if you don’t shred sensitive material.

Consider calling a company like A Plus Paper Shredding to destroy all sensitive information including bank and credit card statements you no longer need, carbon-copy charge receipts with your account information, insurance forms, physician bills, etc.

A commercial company like A Plus Paper Shredding, can handle almost any size job.

What should I shred?

In short, destroy all sensitive information including junk mail and paperwork that includes:

• Account numbers
• Birth dates
• Passwords and PINs
• Signatures
• Social Security numbers

To protect your privacy, you should also consider shredding items that include:

Tips for Choosing a Paper Shredding Service

The increased threats of identity theft and industrial espionage have moved data security to a business priority. The costs to a company that fails to protect the personal information in its care can be devastating. Add in federal and state privacy laws including FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act) and every office now needs a data security program.

Since the day of the paperless office continues to move out; a great deal of private information is sill on paper documents. How you dispose of your files is just as important as how it is stored. This means a shredding program for every office regardless of size. Along with the greater importance on shredding is the growing volume of documents that need to be shredded.

One decision we made early on as a paper shredding company was to become as green as possible. We believed that the future of Louisville, Kentucky, as well as the world, would rest on the shoulders of those who took recycling seriously.

Here is a great article for those who need some recycling tips for their company:

Tips On Recycling Office Paper

There are several good reasons why office paper must be recycled. First, papers used in offices are usually high-grade, and it's a shame to see these quality paper reduced to waste. A staggering 77% of these papers are recyclable. Second, an average business office employee can produce a pound and a half of paper waste in working for a business office daily. Finance offices generate waste paper from two to three pounds per employee daily. Third, production costs can be lowered simply by reducing office paper costs and using used paper whenever possible. Removing office paper from the garbage can reduce waste collection fees by 50%.
