Spring into Secure Shredding – May Shred Tip of the Month
Spring into Secure Shredding – May Shred Tip of the Month – This May, our Shred Tip of the Month is all about spring cleaning with security in mind.
Spring is all about renewal—clearing out clutter, freshening up your space, and getting organized when you spring into secure shredding. But as you clean out closets and office drawers, don’t forget about your paper clutter. This May, our Shred Tip of the Month is all about spring cleaning with security in mind.
Hot Tip: When in Doubt, Shred It Out.
If a document contains names, addresses, account numbers, signatures, Social Security numbers, or anything confidential, it needs to be shredded, not tossed in the trash. Identity thieves love unprotected paper trails, especially when people are doing seasonal cleanouts and old records, and are more likely to carelessly discard them.
What to Watch for This Spring:
- Old tax documents beyond the required retention period
- Expired employee records or customer files
- Junk mail containing pre-approved credit offers
- Bank and credit card statements you no longer need
Whether at home or in the office, securely disposing of outdated paperwork is a crucial step toward protecting your identity and business data. But don’t rely on a basic home shredder—those strips of paper can often be pieced back together. A professional shredding service ensures total destruction and provides a certificate of disposal for your peace of mind.
At Legal Shred, we make seasonal cleanouts simple with:
- Convenient on-site or off-site shredding
- One-time purge services for large volumes
- Locked collection bins for ongoing office use
This May, take your spring cleaning a step further by shredding smarter.
