How Can I Get Rid Of Sensitive Documents Safely and Efficiently?

As a homeowner, business owner, or anyone who has accounts in which statements are

sent to them, documentation becomes one of the most important things you have to keep

by your side. In addition to this notion, there also comes a time where getting rid of those

documents -- whether for new ones or not -- becomes necessary as well. But in today’s age

of computer hacking and identity theft, the last thing you want is to leave documents out in

the open for someone to be able to either decipher and use against you, or use to steal from

you with. Below are a few ways you can get rid of documents safely and efficiently without

much fuss!

At-Home Shredder

One of the easiest and most efficient ways to do this at home is to invest in a paper shredder

that you can use whenever you need it. These attachments typically latch onto a garbage

can and enable you to pass paper through while it shreds and disposes of it at the same

time! This can be effective for people who enjoy the security of seeing their paper being

shredded, and can then dispose of it themselves.

Paper Shredding Services

Another popular option for those who enjoy the satisfaction of seeing them shredded and

thrown out is a pay-per shredding service. This typically involves bringing paper to a

location in order to have it shredded. Most companies will also offer you the satisfaction

of inspecting the paper after it’s been shredded to ensure that nothing is legible and your

sensitive information is safe.

Other Methods

There are certainly other DIY methods for getting rid of documents, but some are not as

good as the others. Burning paper, for example, is something many people turn to, but

neglect to see the fire hazards associated with them. Not only can this start an uncontrollable

fire, but it can be detrimental to your health as well.
