Yes! By putting documents in Shred-it’s secure consoles, you can rest easy knowing that your confidential documents are safe and that you are being environmentally responsible. When you use Shred-it’s services, your documents are shredded and then ultimately recycled. From there, recycled paper is turned into everyday paper products. If documents are put in the garbage, rather than a secure Shred-it console, the risk of a data breach increases significantly, not to mention the environmental impact.
