Recycling Versus Shredding

Recycling primarily deals with environmental concerns. It enables companies to keep paper and other recyclable materials out of the waste stream, thereby preserving our natural resources. By recycling, companies can save money on trash disposal and often generate additional revenue.

Contrary to some common beliefs, materials are not securely destroyed through the recycling process.

Shredding, or document destruction, primarily deals with sensitive documents, information theft and legal compliance concerns. Security is essential to shredding operations for customers because materials may still have negotiable value, such as tickets, stamps, hard drives or information that must be kept confidential, like patient records or financial data.
