I have office locations outside the southeast United States. Can you provide document destruction services to those locations?
Yes, through our affiliation with IPSA.

Why use an outsourced service when I can shred myself?
Of course you can always do your own shredding, but that is not nearly as secure as if we do it--especially if other employees are involved. It would take you days to shred what we can shred in minutes. So, when you think of the time consumed and the hassle of using inexpensive shredders that handle low volumes and constantly are jamming, you will find that the Peachtree Secure Shredding approach is not only more secure, but also the most cost effective in Atlanta, Georgia or anywhere in the southeast.

If you take our documents to your facility, how do we know they’re shredded?
We are a NAID (National Association for Information Destruction) AAA certified company. We are also a founding member of Information Protection Solutions of America (IPSA). These two organizations hold their members to the highest standards and we are required to follow procedures that result in fast and secure destruction of your documents. If you like, we can issue you a certificate of destruction for any documents destroyed at our facility.

Do you use cross-cut shredding methods?
Our shredders do not work in the same way the typical office shredder works. Paper is not cut. It is actually torn at the fiber, making it more difficult to reconstruct.

Do you recycle?
Yes! All of our shredded documents are recycled at several facilities in metro Atlanta. However, because they are securely shredded first, you know that they are safely recycled.

Do you shred non-paper items?
Yes. In fact we can shred:
- Manuals, books, hardcover binders, file folders and other paper storage systems.
- Floppy disks, CD ROMS, DVDs, tapes and other computer storage media.
- Medical pill bottles, staples, paper clips, binder clips and other binding materials.

Do I have to remove binding, paper clips or staples from my documents?
No.

A lot has been written lately about shredding particle size. Why is this so important?
A consistent particle size prevents large pieces from escaping from the shredder. At Peachtree Secure Shredding we use the latest technology combined with screens on our shredders that result in both smaller and more consistent particle size.
