As the premier paper shredding company in the industry, we get asked plenty of questions. One of our favorites – besides, ‘should I shred my documents?’ – YES! – is:
What do I look for when selecting a paper shredding company?
having been in the document shredding industry for nearly 30 years, we’ve learned a heck of lot. Though really, choosing the right paper shredding company boils down to several things.
- Security – Is your document destruction company certified by NAID?
- Reliability – Will your paper shredding actually come when you call or do they miss pickups, regularly?
- Trustworthiness – If your company has to miss a pickup due to weather, traffic, or anything, really – are they giving you a heads up ahead of time with a phone call?
- Flexibility – How flexible is your shredding company’s scheduling? Can they work with you to schedule that extra pickup you need during tax season? Do they offer both off-site on and on-site shredding service?
- Cost-Effectiveness – suggest to meet with your sales rep at minimum once a year. Are you getting the best value for your paper shredding service?
- Local – Choosing local always helps. It assists in ensuring that the five items above are indeed met. Besides, isn’t always nice to look face-to-face at your good-looking paper shredding rep?
Oh, we also suggest looking for a secure paper shredding company that has a customer service team on-site. That way whenever you call, you can guarantee you’ll be talking to someone local who can personally handle your concerns – whether it’s finding out what time a shred truck will be at your office or if you have general questions on an invoice. A local customer service team will be able to assist you much more quickly than one overseas.
