Taking care of shredding confidential information in-house can lead to many issues for any business. Employees can get careless and leave documents on desks, or in a pile while waiting to be shredded. That provides the opportunity for information to get lost, seen, or stolen, which increases liability risks. Providing small shredders may appear to be an answer, but they can only shred a few sheets at a time and need to be replaced often, which can significantly increase operational costs. They also only cut in one direction, so it is possible to put pieces back together and read information.
