What type of shredder do I need?

There are many different types of shredders. Consider these factors when deciding what kind of shredder best fits your needs:

• What will you be shredding? Paper, Computer Disks, Plastic Cards?
  Paper comes in many different forms. Some paper is thicker or thinner, glossy or coarse. Some shredders can handle plastics and other can’t. Be sure your shredder can handle whatever you will be shredding.
• How sensitive is the material that will be shred? How confidential is this information?
  Some shredders cut paper into long strips that could be pieced back together. Other shredders turn the paper into unrecognizable confetti. The more important the document the more it needs to be shred into very small pieces.
• How frequently will you be using the shredder? Hourly, Daily, Monthly, etc?
  Some paper shredders are designed for low volume use, where other heavy-duty shredders can be used continuously. Purchasing a shredder that cannot handle the volume of shredding can be very frustrating.
• Do you need one large shredder, or many shredders?
  Some offices can use one large shredder for all their shredding needs, where other offices may need several smaller shredders to be placed strategically throughout the office.
• How many sheets will you shred at a time? Is your shredding load light or heavy?
  Smaller shredders can only handle a few sheets of paper, where larger shredders can grate many sheets of paper at a time. Strip cut shredders can always shred more paper at a time than a cross cut shredder.
• Do you need a stationary or a portable shredder?
  Shredders can be very large and heavy. If you need a mobile shredder to take from one office to another consider a lighter shredder or one with mobile casters. If space is an issue, consider a thinner shredder that can fit into a tight space.
• What size of paper do you need to shred?
  Some shredders are designed to shred small letters, where other shredders can shred newspapers and phone books. Take into consideration what you will need to shred now and in the future.

ADVANTAGES OF MOBILE SHREDDING

1) Mobile shredding is cheaper compared to in-house shredding as it does not require you to purchase costly shredding equipment. There are also no costs for maintenance of the equipment. Since in mobile shredding you do not have to purchase your own shredding equipment, there is no need to hire or assign staff members to do the paper shredding and instead, your workforce can effectively focus on other important business activities.

2) Mobile shredding is the most convenient paper shredding method to use. The onboard shredding machines are powerful that they can shred not just paper but also staples, cardboard folders, and other kinds of office stationery whereas in-house shredders cannot. The onboard shredding machines can shred at a faster rate than those office shredders. In mobile shredding, the waste products of the shedding process are kept onboard the truck, which will deliver it to recycling stations. But if the paper shredding is done in-house, it sure will be untidy and the shredded paper bins will also consume office space.

3) Third, mobile shredding is the most secure method for paper shredding. Unlike in-house shredding, entry-level, part-time, and unauthorized employees can have access to those confidential documents. With mobile shredding, these documents can be safely stored in locked bins out of their reach. Document security experts suggest that organisations using off-site shredding services face increased risk and liability by severing the chain-of-custody when disposing of confidential information. When private information is taken off- site for destruction, confidential materials may be handled by multiple parties out of sight of the source organisation, thus leaving that organisation vulnerable to error and fraud that may result in irreversible damage.Furthermore, you also will not have to worry about the person who will do the shredding. This is due to the fact that in mobile shredding, all of your confidential documents are eradicated right there and then inside the lorry, which can be parked within your place, by a uniformed employee of the mobile shredding company.


With all these advantages of mobile shredding over other paper shredding methods, it is the logical choice for you to use mobile shredding service like MYSHRED MOBILE !
