Step One: Technician Pickups

When a SafeGuard technician visits your office, you can be assured that every employee at SafeGuard has passed an extensive background check and is bonded and insured to make each visit secure and efficient.

Step Two: Safe Document Collection

Stationary collection consoles are consolidated into secure bins while our containers are switched for empty containers. We offer 95 and 64 gallon collection containers and office consoles. Each collection container deployed by SafeGuard incorporates the proprietary LockNations locking system. This security system enhances the overall collection and destruction process. Simply put, with this security system on each bin, your business records are kept safer and your costs will be reduced: Never have to worry about lost keys and the associated risks Never pay for lock change outs when keys are lost Control with absolute certainty who has access to collection bins Never pay for unnecessary service calls to open collection bins Eliminate risk that a lost key shows up with a competitor or disgruntled employee Know that every combination lock is unique in your system, unlike padlocks and consoles that are keyed the same

All collected bins remain sealed and are secured in our truck for transportation to our secure grinding facility where all collected material is destroyed daily.

SafeGuard Destruction Services operates a state-of-the-art destruction facility. At the heart of the facility is a VecoPlan Rotary Weight Grinder capable of processing a wide range of materials including confidential documents, electronic media, consumer products and more. The grinding technology yields smaller particle sizes than a typical shredder and destroys documents in such a manner that recreation is essentially impossible. To heighten security the plant’s system features enclosed, secure conveyors that directly feed a Marren Baler, which immediately compacts ground documents for recycling.

SafeGuard is committed to recycling as much of our shredded material as possible. Protecting the environment is important to our company.

You will be provided a Certificate of Destruction which dates and time stamps when the contents of your bins were destroyed. This is another source of proof to verify that your documents were destroyed completely and that you are compliant with relevant regulations.
