Read on to learn all about what makes us the best shredding service in Kitchener and the GTA.

NAID Member

Absolute Destruction is one of about 2,000 worldwide members of the National Association of Information Destruction, or NAID, the industry’s only standard-setting body advocating for best practices in secure data destruction.

NAID also provides tools for compliance with all known data protection regulations. When public and private companies need to offer their clients peace of mind, they make sure the shredder they hire is a member of NAID.

Convenient Paper Shredding

Everybody wants to keep their sensitive documents confidential, but nobody wants to haul heavy boxes anywhere. With Absolute Destruction, or mobile shredding truck can come right to your home or office, so you can get sensitive documents destroyed without having to lift a finger.

Your home may contain common documents which could cause you untold harm if an identity thief were to ever get their hands on them. Such a list may include:

• Banking records
• Tax information
• Papers containing passwords
• Social insurance data

These documents are ordinary papers everybody accumulates in the process of being a citizen, yet today’s identity thieves don’t always need a comprehensive amount of background information to be able to blackmail you, or drain your bank account.

Offices have their own species of sensitive data pertaining to thing like clients or proprietary information. If you need document shredding services in Kitchener for your home or office, don’t waste time bringing it to a shredder yourself. Just call Absolute Destruction and we’ll either shred your sensitive documents right there on the curbside, or transport them to our facility where they’ll be securely destroyed.

Electronic Shredding

A home or an office containing sensitive information on an electronic device is a liability, one that can’t be fixed by simply throwing the electronic into the garbage. When you call a professional shredder, they will pulverize the microchips on the electronic device until the data that was on them cannot possibly be retrieved.

Dumpster diving can involve paper documents or a long list of electronics, some of which may not occur to people immediately as a data liability:

• Desktops
• Laptops
• Tablets
• Smartphones
• USB/flash drives
• Photocopier or printer memory card

If you have any of these or some other electronics storing information you don’t want to fall into the wrong hands, call Absolute Destruction for quick and easy shredding.

Specialty Destruction

Finally, sometimes info is stored not on paper or an electronic device, but in some other more unorthodox form. Absolute Destruction can handle the job. A short list of items we can eliminate for specialty destruction includes:

• Pharmaceutical packaging
• X-rays
• Dental moulds
• ID cards
• Access cards
• Uniforms with logos
• Clothing or t-shirts

Not only does Absolute Destruction shred any type of sensitive information you have, we’re also committed to helping our clients achieve their environmental targets and carbon reduction goals.
