Chicago Document Shredding

Record Nations has partnered with local Chicago document shredding companies that offer destruction services to help you with this final and crucial step of managing your files. Abstaining from properly destroying your documents can result in identity theft or reputation sabotage.

Professional Document Shredding Services

Record Nations offers mobile shredding (a provider comes to you) and offsite shredding (a provider picks it up), and can assist you with:

  • Setting up a program to provide weekly, monthly, or annual shredding services.
  • Shredding your documents after you scan them.
  • Managing and disposing inactive documents that are past their specific required retention times.
  • Cleaning up and disposing of non-critical documents in your storage room or file room before you start your scanning project or storing your documents offsite.

The best way to protect yourself, your employees and your company is to use Record Nations’ secure document destruction services.

Hard Drive Shredding and Degaussing Services

Even when you think you have wiped your hard drive clean, your data can still be at risk of landing in the wrong hands. Our local Chicago destruction companies offer regularly scheduled pickups and a secure chain of custody.

Record Nations Chicago offers several ways to dispose of your hard drive properly, including:

Hard Drive Shredding
Your hard drives are picked up in a secure bin and shredded to eliminate the chance of extracting data from the platters inside the drive.

Hard Drive Degaussing
Machines with high-powered magnets are used to scramble the information on your drives, making it impossible to retrieve any files.

Hard Drive Crushing
A hole is punched in the drive and then crushed, shattering the platters. This renders any data held in the drive completely unrecoverable.
