Summer Clean-up?  5 Signs You Need a Big One-Time Shredding Purge

Summer Clean-up?  5 Signs You Need a Big One-Time Shredding Purge – Here are five signs it’s time to schedule your summer purge.

As summer rolls in, it’s not just our homes and offices that we should focus on for a seasonal refresh—our paper clutter needs it too. Old files, outdated records, and unneeded documents pile up quickly, creating more than just a mess – they pose a serious security risk. At Legal Shred, we help homeowners and businesses clear the clutter and protect their private information with secure, one-time shredding services. 

Here are five signs it’s time to schedule your summer purge.

1. You Can’t Close Drawers or File Cabinets
   If your filing cabinets are bursting and you’ve resorted to stacking papers on your desks – or worse, the floor and in boxes in the closet – then it’s time. Legal Shred makes it easy to clear out old files safely and efficiently.
2. You’re Hanging Onto Documents “Just in Case”
   Holding onto paperwork longer than necessary can backfire. Whether it’s old invoices, expired contracts, or decades-old tax forms, Legal Shred can help you decide what’s safe to dispose of and ensure it’s shredded beyond recovery.
3. You’re Planning a Move or Office Renovation
   Moving or remodeling is the perfect time to declutter. Don’t haul unnecessary paper with you to your new space. Our one-time shredding services help streamline your transition, making sure sensitive documents are securely destroyed.
4. You’ve Experienced a Data Breach or Close Call
   Even a near-miss is a wake-up call. Keeping old documents with sensitive information leaves you vulnerable to a breach. Legal Shred provides peace of mind with secure shredding that ensures nothing falls into the wrong hands.
5. It’s Been Over a Year Since Your Last Cleanout
   If you can’t remember the last time you cleaned out your paper files, it’s probably overdue. Annual purges help maintain a clean, secure environment, and summer is the perfect season to start fresh.

At Legal Shred, we offer a one-time shredding service that is simple, fast, and secure. Don’t let paper clutter become a security liability. This summer, trust Legal Shred to help you purge with confidence.
