Empowering you with information to source the safest provider

Confidential information of your business and that of your clients should always remain that. With privacy measures in place and litigation that can arise when confidential information is not disposed of correctly it is important you ask about the process of destruction of documents when sourcing a provider.
You can be assured by using our service that no part is outsourced to another party.  We own and operate our own facility and equipment.  Your confidential documents are collected by our staff in locked receptacles, taken directly to our shredding facility and shredded.

MDS can guarantee your documents will not fall in to the wrong hands.

Be aware - Outsourcing.   Most security destruction companies do not have their own facilities or machinery; they outsource this to a third party. 

Be aware – Processes.  All confidential documents should be shredded.  Some companies will collect your documents, and on sell your paper to a paper merchant who will bale it and pulp it at a later stage. Your documents could sit in a storage yard for weeks or months.

Be aware – Hidden costs.  Ask your provider for an all up cost.  You could be surprised when you receive your invoice at the hidden costs.

Be aware – Certification. Always ask for a certificate of destruction this is your guarantee that your documents have been shredded, if this is not provided your documents have not been shredded.

Be aware – Visitation.  Ask your service provider if you can visit the premises where your documents will be shredded.  If they say this is not allowed, then they are not shredding your documents.

Be aware- Cartage.  Ask your service provider how your documents will be carted to the shredding facility.  Confidential documents should be carted in a locked or secure receptacle and not open until they have reached the shredding facility.
