Many companies make the mistake of assuming that outsourced recycling companies will dispose of confidential
information in a secure manner. This is not that case! Documents placed into recycling or trash bins
are very accessible - in your place of business, during transport from office to the recycling facility,
and once they arrive there. Federal and State laws hold business' liable for damage done to individuals
when private information falls into the wrong hands. In addition, there is the danger of irreparable
damage to corporate security if confidential business information is not protected. Utilizing USDS
guarantees that documents placed in our security containers will be protected in your office,
securely transported to our shredding facility, and destroyed by our bonded employees.
As privacy issues become more and more of a concern, you have an obligation to protect your company,
your employees, and your clients or patients. Are YOU taking care of your document security?
Information that is securely protected in your computer system is often floating around your office
in paper format, accessible to any employee or passerby. Even when the paper is properly disposed of
in trash and recycling bins, can you be sure that confidential, private and proprietary documents won't
fall into the wrong hands? Do you know where the papers in those recycle bins go each month? Are you
confident that no one will ever remove a document from the trash basket?
