Digitizing records does not eliminate the risks posed by physical documents. Most organizations still generate paper trails such as client contracts, financial statements, and proprietary drafts that require secure disposal. Desk shredders may handle internal scrap, but they fall short when tasked with destroying sensitive information. Equip Recycling provides certified shredding services that eliminate recovery risk, reduce labor overhead, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Relying on basic vertical shredders introduces operational exposure. Strip-cut output remains vulnerable to interception and reconstruction. Even when shredded, documents can be pieced together manually or scanned and digitally reassembled. Without cross-cutting and batch mixing, sensitive data remains accessible to unauthorized parties. Equip Recycling uses industrial-grade shredders that reduce documents to fine, confetti-grade fragments, making recovery infeasible.
Investing in mid-tier shredders may improve cut quality, but throughput remains limited. Feeding documents manually consumes staff hours and introduces bottlenecks. Machines designed for office use often jam under bulk loads and require constant supervision. Outsourcing to certified providers eliminates internal labor costs and guarantees destruction that meets audit thresholds. Equip Recycling processes high volumes efficiently, allowing internal teams to focus on core operations.
Organizations handling client, patient, or financial data must comply with strict disposal protocols. HIPAA, FACTA, and GLBA require documented destruction of sensitive records. Internal shredders often fail to meet these standards, especially when chain-of-custody tracking and destruction certificates are required. Equip Recycling delivers certified shredding with full documentation, including batch-level reporting and liability release. This ensures that every disposal event is verifiable and audit-ready.
Equip Recycling uses NSA/CSS-approved shredding equipment capable of producing cross-cut fragments below 1/26″ × 1/5″. Shredded output is mixed across multiple projects to prevent pattern reconstruction. This process eliminates the possibility of data recovery, even under forensic inspection. Each batch is processed under secure conditions with transport and handling protocols designed to maintain custody integrity from pickup to final destruction.
To schedule a pickup, contact Equip Recycling with your preferred time and volume. Our team will coordinate secure transport and provide destruction documentation upon completion.
