Document Destruction Services
Document Destruction Services: Secure, Easy, Convenient
The document management process is complete when your records have passed their retention period and have been properly destroyed. Destruction requirements are set by federal and state laws to protect personally identifiable information and confidential data. Document destruction services are a secure option to shred all unwanted papers following a scanning service, or for documents that are in storage past their retention date.
Selecting a destruction service will depend on your company’s individual needs. We have service options to dispose of a variety of materials, different volumes, one-time or recurring services, and witnessed shredding. Secure destruction will maintain your company’s good reputation and trust with your customers.
No matter what destruction services you require, Record Nations is sure to safely and effectively dispose of your materials. Our secure and affordable services are HIPAA and FACTA-compliant, verifiable, and convenient.
