Secure Shredding
Your confidential information is of the highest importance to CRIM. Whether your needs are Off-Site Secure Shredding, Document Purges or Media Destruction – CRIM has the best possible solutions to meet your needs.

The Shredding Process:

Your confidential information is placed in a locked security bin and transported in a secure vehicle to our shredding facility, where your materials are then shredded.

What happens to shredded material?

Your confidential papers are securely shredded and converted into bales of paper. These bales are processed into recycled paper products. You then receive a Certificate of Destruction verifying the destruction of your material.
