Birmingham Off Site Shredding

Off site shredding is simply the process of having documents transported to a secure destruction facility near Birmingham. This process complies with every current federal and Alabama privacy law, including HIPAA and FACTA. Off site shredding is common, because it’s usually cheaper to destroy at a facility. This type of shredding utilizes some of the largest and most advanced shredders on the market.

Trained security drivers transport your documents in a locked truck, protecting them until they arrive at the secure shredding facility near Birmingham. Upon arriving at the facility, the containers are weighed. Once entered, they are staged to begin the shredding process. The material is fed directly into the giant shredder, which processes over 20,000 lbs per hour. A certificate of destruction is generated with the total weight, ensuring that the papers were destroyed.

Once your papers are shredded, they are baled and shipped directly to a paper mill. From here, the material is turned into pulp and recycled into new paper.
