Paper is destroyed by equipment that shreds the paper to a particle size that is no wider than 5/8” shred width. Shredded paper MUST be recycled (may not be used for animal bedding, packing materials or insulation). This is because, the final step in eliminating information is accomplished during the “bleaching / de-inking” of paper fiber during the recycling process.

Many businesses throw their important documents into a commercial dumpster or trashcan, which have a potential risk of their documents being released into the wrong hands. Common ways for thieves to get their hands on secure documents are dumpster diving or using a special storage device when processing credit/debit cards which pretends to be financial institutions. This device sends spam messages that retrieves your personal information. These thief’s can divert any billing statements to a different location and lastly, “Old-Fashioned” stealing.

Having this knowledge on how you can protect yourself and your business could reduce your chance of identity theft. Also, informing your friends, family and your community of these potential risks can help alleviate the chance of identity theft for all.
