Shredding sensitive documents became standard practice long ago. However, it’s not just the disposal that needs to be secure. The way you store these documents before shredding them also has to be secure. Sensitive documents must remain confidential, no matter if you’re in an office, medical facility, law firm, or government agency. That means you need secure shredding bins in Manassas, VA, and the surrounding DMV region.
Rather than leaving these papers out where everyone can see them, use secure shredding bins in Manassas and the DMV so you can keep the papers out of sight. When you’re ready to order, contact TrueShred to discuss what you need.
Shredding Bins and Consoles for Every Office Size
We have three different types of locking containers. For businesses that generate a moderate amount of shredding, under 100 pounds, we offer shredding consoles. This is the flat-topped container that you see in so many offices. These are 36 inches tall, 19 inches wide, and 17 inches deep. You slide the papers in through a top opening on the front panel. Our employees can reach the interior basket through a door right below that opening.
The next step up is a 64-gallon bin that holds 220 pounds of paper. This type of bin looks like a standard curbside garbage can with a lid and two wheels in back. This option is 40 inches tall, 23.5 inches wide, and 30 inches deep.
The largest container is a 95-gallon bin that holds 340 pounds of paper when full. This too looks like a curbside garbage bin and is 46 inches tall, 26 inches wide, and 34 inches deep. This bin is best for organizations that generate a tremendous amount of shredding, such as hospitals or very large businesses.
You’re not limited to a particular type of container. If you’re in a large business but prefer to have several shredding consoles instead of one or two 95-gallon bins, you can absolutely use those.
Some of the features that make these containers so helpful are:
- Secure locking mechanisms
- Tamper-resistant features
- Compliant with HIPAA and FACTA privacy requirements
Secure Shredding Collection and Disposal
We offer both on-site and off-site shredding pickup services. Our trucks are equipped to shred documents right at the pickup point, so those files and papers don’t leave your sight. We take the document destruction containers—either the whole bin or the bag from the basket—and bring them to the truck. Then, we shred the documents and return the document destruction containers to you. Only our team and certain people at your business have keys to the bin. So, you don’t need to worry about anyone else getting in.
Once the shredding is complete, we issue a Certificate of Destruction that confirms the documents have been destroyed. Keep these certificates. They show that you follow privacy laws, like HIPAA for medical facilities and FACTA for financial institutions.
Protect Your Documents Before They’re Shredded
Our bins provide secure storage for files as you wait for shredding services in the DMV. We provide reliable service with a clear chain of custody. You also get a written Certificate of Destruction to document file disposal for your records. When you want to protect your paper-based data, you will want to use our securely locked containers to keep that data hidden.
Secure shredding bins in Manassas are a must. Contact TrueShred for information on container delivery and shredding services in the DMV today.
Frequently Asked Questions
We understand you have a lot going on and might have some questions. Here are a few we get asked often.
How do I choose the right shredding container for my business?
The containers vary by capacity. Choose a container that holds at least as much as your office paper shredding. If you are not sure which container is best for the amount of office paper shredding you have, give us a call, and we can help you narrow down the options.
How often should shredding bins be emptied?
How often the bins should be emptied depends on how many you have and how quickly they fill up. A weekly shredding schedule is very common. We offer a one-time pickup service. You can set it up as needed. This way, you can see how fast the bins fill up before deciding on regular pickups.
