Our team at Mail Box & Pack offers a wide range of services to help you with all your shipping, faxing, and other office needs. In this article, we will focus on our shredding services, going over a few reasons why you should shred your old documents rather than throwing them directly into the trash.
- Shredding Protects You From Identity Theft – The primary reason why we encourage you to use our shredding services to get rid of your old documents is because doing so will help protect you from identity theft. Identity thieves often go through people’s trash in order to find old bills, bank statements, and similar documents with sensitive information, which they can then use to steal your identity. By shredding your documents first, you make all the information on them illegible and therefore useless to potential thieves.
- Shredding is More Eco-Friendly – Another reason to use our shredding services is because we recycle all our shredded paper. You won’t have to worry about your documents ending up in a landfill once they have been shredded—instead, our team will make sure to dispose of all the paper at a recycling facility. This makes shredding better for the environment.
- Shredding Frees Up Space – Lastly, we encourage you to use our shredding services in order to finally get your old files out of your house. If you have boxes of old documents that aren’t relevant anymore or that you have digitized, then we encourage you to dispose of them by using our shredding services. Then you can reclaim that space.
