Document Destruction Process

Weighing a secure container The Document Destruction Process:

Containers are securely locked. Only Beacon Secure has the keys to your container so that nobody tampers with the contents
We keep a record of where the containers are located in your facility, ensuring that we collect all containers each visit
Employees follow precise security procedures when picking up and loading your confidential materials
All vehicles have lockable, secure, enclosed cargo areas and lockable cabs
Confidential documents go from the locked containers, to our locked trucks and then to our secure facility. There they are shredded, usually within one day
Your materials are weighed on a digital scale that ensures accurate records for you
Your confidential papers are destroyed by shredding equipment. Beacon Secure offers three shred sizes: ½” strips meet most requirements; 5/16" strips meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service; and cross-cut disintegration meets Security Level Six requirements. Other shredders yield larger, less secure, 5/8" shred size. Strip shreds are also baled and recycled for new paper
A Certificate of Destruction is included with your invoice. The chain of custody is never broken or compromised. From pickup to destruction, your materials are always secure
