We service a Baltimore based law firm that houses 8 executive consoles. We service this client every Wednesday at 10 am on a weekly basis.

They typically have about 650-700 pounds of paper to shred each week. They need a weekly service due to the day to day confidential data that they accumulate. They only wanted an on-site vendor due to the sensitivity of their clients' confidential data.

One of our uniformed, bonded, and insured security experts arrives in one of the mobile shredding vehicles and collects the confidential data. The locked consoles are then transported to the shredding vehicle to be destroyed. These documents are never seen or touched by any of our security experts.

Once the confidential documents are placed into the locked containers by our clients, they are never seen again.
