Document Destruction and Shredding Equipment Leasing & Financing

Back to main industries page

According to industry research document destruction and shredding services are becoming an everyday part of business in almost every industry – this is due in large part to the constantly rising liability from identity theft.  The potential liability from identity theft is just too substantial for a business or government entity to disregard. 

In 1988, the United States Supreme Court ruled that trash picking is legal (dumpster diving). Once trash is placed outside, it is public domain, with no exception of privacy or ownership. This means that any information your company has not shredded is open to the public. Your company can be held liable for any repercussions resulting in failure to properly dispose of sensitive data.

Interesting facts from The Risk Management Series presented by the National Association for Information Destruction:

1. Every business has information that requires destruction
2. Stored records should be destroyed on a regular schedule
3. Incidental business records discarded on a daily basis should be protected
4. Recycling is not an adequate alternative for information destruction
5. A Certificate Of Destruction does not relieve a company from its obligation to keep information confidential
6. Most records storage companies do not have the equipment to provide shredding services
7. Internal personnel should not be responsible to destroy certain information
8. Information protection is a vital issue to senior management
