We serviced an accounting firm that was moving to a new building. They have been in business for over 35 years and had accumulated hundreds of boxes of old files and old records. All of their old records were stored in a storage facility.

Our client had us shred the contents of over 500 legal sized file boxes. We arrived first thing in the morning and by the end of the day and we had shredded over 25,000 pounds of confidential documents.

They were able to eliminate all these 20+ year old records and they were also able to save hundreds of dollars a month by not having to continue to pay storage fees for these old records.

Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA)

The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act establishes a national system of fraud detection so victims can alert all three major credit rating agencies with a single phone call.

Starting June 1, 2005, employers must destroy personal information about their employees before they throw it out if they got the information from a credit report. That means "shredding or burning" paper documents or "smashing or wiping" computer disks.

The federal government's website states that "Although the Disposal Rule applies to consumer reports and the information derived from consumer reports, the Federal Trade Commission encourages those who dispose of any records containing a consumer's personal or financial information to take similar protective measures."
