Confidential, Secure Destruction Services

The "paperless office" is a familiar concept. New technologies, automated systems and online communications would naturally decrease our consumption and production of paper, right? Wrong. Consider these statistics:

  • Since 1982, production of office paper has grown 60%
  • North American businesses generate approximately 1 trillion new pieces of paper every year
  • According to Hewlett Packard, email, which was supposed to reduce the amount of printed paper, resulted in a 40% increase in printing volumes
  • Paper consumption in the U.S. will grow from 43.7 to 65.6 million tons between 1995 and 2015

Organizations have the added concerns of confidentiality (U.S. businesses lost more than seven billion dollars to corporate espionage last year.) and compliance, particularly in light of recent scandals such as Enron and WorldCom.

Andrews Records Management assists clients with the effective, secure and confidential management of their paper and non-paper destruction requirements.

Service that fits your needs

We understand each of our customers requires specialized service. Our destruction service is based on your needs and volume of information produced. With ARM, you can be confident that sensitive items will not fall into the wrong hands. Rather than spend valuable time shredding papers, your personnel can simply place the materials in secure, tamper-proof containers and leave the destruction to Andrews. We will collect the sensitive materials on a regularly scheduled basis, confidentially crosscut shred, and provide a certificate of destruction for your records. Should you have special requirements, simply schedule a pickup and one of our uniformed and bonded destruction specialists will be dispatched to assure prompt service.

Andrews' facilities are devoted to the secure destruction of all information being processed. We have invested in state-of-the-art systems and equipment to provide the highest standard of destruction services:

Equipment

Ensuring secure destruction of client information means investing in the proper equipment to accomplish the task efficiently, confidentially and completely.

  • Two, Allegheny 75-horsepower crosscut shredders: first cut = 1.5 inches; second cut = 1/2 inch.
