Destroying private documents is an excellent way to keep your personal information safe. Whether you are dealing with personal information or private Seattle business information, document shredding will help ensure you don’t let confidential material fall into the wrong hands.
As cases of identity theft and data breaches continue to afflict hundreds of thousands of Americans, several laws, including FACTA, have been created dictating how companies handle the private information of customers and employees.
Shredding services offer a comprehensive solution for organizations that produce large volumes of paperwork that contain sensitive information. For an affordable rate, hundreds of pounds of paper can be picked up and securely shredded.
However, if your Seattle office doesn’t produce large volumes of sensitive paperwork, shredding services may not be your answer. Because it’s still important to thoroughly destroy confidential paperwork, purchasing your own personal or office shredder may be your best option.
How to Choose a Paper Shredder
The first thing you’ll need to do when selecting a paper shredder is evaluate your needs.
- How many sheets will you want to shred at a time?
- How long do you want your shredder to last?
- How small do you want the shredded bits to be?
- How much space can you dedicate to your shredder?
- Is noise level a factor you need to consider?
- Do you need a shredder than can handle staples, clips, or cardboard?
Once you know how you will be using your shredder, you can determine what features your shredder will need.
Here are a few popular shredders you may consider, each is within a separate price range and offering different features:
| Home Shredder | Home Office Shredder | Small Office Shredder |

If you are considering buying your own paper shredder, it is vital to do research. Select a shredder that can handle your needs and won’t break easily. Destroying confidential documents is crucial to avoiding identity theft—make sure you choose a shredder that can get your job done.
