What does it mean to be NAID AAA Certified?

We don’t have anything to shred. Why would we need a shredding service?
All businesses have discarded confidential information and should be shredding. Businesses generate customer lists, price lists, drafts, bids, payroll information, customer information, and memos just to name a few.
We use an office shredder, why change?
There are a number good of reasons:
*Business analysts agree that the outsourcing of non-value added jobs, like shredding, saves a company time and money. Eighty pounds of paper destroyed with an office shredder will take your employee about 6 hours to do. We can do it in just a few minutes and at a fraction of the cost. Now your employee is free for the more important jobs in the operation of your business.
*No equipment to buy or maintain, no messy clean up and no shredded paper to throw away.
*Protection against employee theft or unauthorized employees viewing sensitive documents while they are shredding.
