It’s a question all businesses should ask themselves
While we all know how important it is to shred our confidential documents… it quite often gets put to the bottom of the to do list.
All businesses face the risk of information falling into the wrong hands and with identity theft being an ever constant threat it’s important there is as little chance for this to happen as possible. Whether that threat is to you, your staff or your customers!
The list of paperwork that can be shredded is almost endless – Invoices for example are confidential, which let’s be honest probably isn’t news to you; but those scraps of paper you use to scribble down a telephone number…they’re confidential too…
There are so many rules and regulations surrounding the proper disposal of confidential documents it can be difficult to keep up! So to be able to prove you’ve shredded everything in accordance with these rules is of the utmost importance. We provide you with a certificate of destruction to prove you’ve shredded everything properly so you can show off to anyone who’ll listen that you’re doing everything by the book and that you’re helping look after the environment one tree at a time!
Which brings me to my next point – recycling! Everybody wants to have a positive impact on the environment whether personally or as a company and shredding and recycling your documents is a very positive step in the right direction.
When you recycle:
- 74% less air pollution is generated
- 35% less water pollution is generated
- 58% less water is required
- 64% less energy is required
- One ton of high-grade recyclable paper can substitute for approximately 3 tons of wood in making new paper products.
Everything we shred here at McCarthy’s is recycled and so far we’ve saved about 28,800 trees!
