Two Major Risks with Shredding Remotely

No doubt shredding is a secure process, but there are two risks of shredding at home.

1. Employees May Not Be Shredding the Papers At All

A major risk of employees shredding the papers is that they may not go the extra step to shred. They may simply throw the documents in the trash or recycle them. The recycled and thrown away papers can easily be recovered. The information can be exposed and potentially used by the wrong people. The proper disposal of old expired and unneeded papers is important to keep information secure.

2. You Can’t Recycle the Shreds Yourself.

When it comes to recycling papers, shredding may seem confusing to you. The paper shreds because their small amounts can't be recycled. As the recycling plants can't filter through the small number of shreds, they end up in landfills. They don't recycle or get consumed and pass over.

How to handle shredding with remote workers

As shredding tears up documents into bits and pieces, it is a secure way to handle documents. Recovering shreds is not possible at all. As the shredding is done with bulk documents, it is more sustainable. Furthermore, when it comes to remote workers, there are a few shredding options:

Shred events

Businesses and community members can take benefit of shredding events. The mobile trucks in the shred event provide an opportunity to shred right then and there. Businesses can hold this event for their employees to bring papers to shred.

Mobile and off-site shredding

The options are also available for mobile and off-site shredding. The shredding options depend upon the preferences and quality. Shred trucks, generally called mobile to come to any location for on-site shredding. While off-site shredding means a shred truck will stay at its place, and you need to dispose of your documents in it. The truck will take your papers to the shredding facility. 

Drop off locations

Employees can directly go to the drop-off location to shred their documents properly.

Drop off shredding is a retail store location to drop off the documents and place documents in a secure box. After the box is full, the retailer shreds the container properly. The shredding starts from a few papers and ends at 100lbs.
