Why Outsource Your Document Shredding Needs

Many businesses have a DIY attitude when it comes to document shredding, but they may not know that outsourced document shredding is more cost-effective than in-house shredding. It's quite expensive to have your own employees shred paper with portable office shredders.

If your people are shredding for as little as a combined two hours per month, it is likely that hiring a professional document destruction company will be a less expensive alternative. Think about how your employees' time could be better spent on more strategic projects. If you are shredding less than two hours per month, you may want to consider storing the paper and having the paper shredded once per year by a professional document destruction company.

You save money by using an professional document shredding company because:

• You don't have to pay your employees to shred the documents
• You don't have to purchase and maintain your own shredding equipment
• You don't have to remove paper clips and staples
• You don't have to clean up the dust from shredding
• You don't have to pay for the cost of disposal of the paper

The Real Cost of Document Shredding Internally

2,000 sheets divided by 15 sheets per minute is 2 hours 15 minutes. If the person doing the shredding makes as little as $8 per hour plus 25% for taxes and benefits, that means the direct cost of internally shredding 2,000 pages is $22.22 per month. Next you add in the cost of the in-house shredder, disposal of bags of paper, dust clean up and disruptions from noise. If your volume is this amount or more, then you are better off using a professional, bonded document destruction company.
