Thus, recognizing the need for confidential destruction in small quantities as in law, accounting & commercial offices, clinics, research offices, insurance and so on where the use of small shredders is usually quite time consuming and the result of the destruction is certainly not acceptable (Please see “Document Destroyers” below), our company places special plastic, metal or furniture bins that lock and secure with seals so that any document entered will be impossible to be removed without the violation being revealed. In that way your documents are secure and no one can see them without your consent.
The Procedure
An authorized employee of our business comes to your place and sets up the bin you have requested, locked and secured with a seal, ready to use. When the bin is full you inform our company in order to replace the bin. When your documents are destroyed, we send a notification email with the exact date of destruction and we attach the “Destruction Certificate” which proves to you and your clients that your / their documents are secure and destroyed. * It is possible to film the process and receive it in dvd (chargeable) or to have a representative physically present
