What, Why & How to Ensure Safe Destruction

Every company has items that are exclusive to their business, whether it’s the products you produce, manufacture and/or distribute or your company’s staff-IDs, key cards, uniforms, name tags, or anything else that is proprietary in nature. It’s these items that can cause a security risk if they end up in a trash bin, recycling container or ultimately in a landfill.  Product destruction is a key way to protect your business and your reputation from ID thieves and dumpster divers who are on the lookout for ways to breach your business and steal information.

• Packaging and labels
• Marketing materials
• Defective products
• Expired or outdated products
• Any items with your company logo
