Certified Destruction
Part of the process for a commercial shredding company is to supply a Certificate of Destruction for each batch of material processed. The certificate should be prepared and signed by the bonded employee of the commercial shredding company who did or supervised the process. It should include the date and time of shredding, inventory description of the material shredded, number and size of boxes, and who authorized the shredding to take place.
Whether you witness the destruction in person or watch the process through the internet, you should still request the certificate. The certificate is the only proof you have that the work was completed. Your company is still liable for the content even though you have a certificate. If the shredded material is being stored and waiting for transportation to a mill for pulping, your company is still responsible for the content of the shredded material. Your company's liability ends only when the material is rendered truly unreadable.
Having your documents and files shredded and then receiving certificates of destruction is only one part of a successful destruction program. The J. D. Carton & Son team is ready to help you set up a Document Destruction Program or to help modify the program you have in place.
