Shredding confidential information is essential for protecting yourself from identity theft. While many associate this with businesses, it’s just as important to safeguard sensitive information at home. Your residence likely contains a wealth of personal data that could be at risk. Shredding documents before disposal is one of the most effective ways to ensure your private information doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.

Sensitive Information at Home

At Allegheny Records, we collaborate with your community to combat identity theft by offering convenient residential shredding services. Take a moment to look around your home, and you’ll probably find various documents that, if exposed, could compromise your finances and identity. Do any of these things sound familiar?

  • Tax records
  • Bank statements
  • Credit card statements
  • Utility bills
  • Travel documents and boarding passes
  • Medical records
  • Loan documents
  • Expired contracts for rentals and leases

These items all contain sensitive information that could be exploited by identity thieves if not disposed of properly.

Drop-Off Shredding

To make document destruction easy and secure, Allegheny Records offers a convenient drop-off shredding service. You can bring in any quantity of documents, as frequently as needed, to ensure your personal information remains protected. The process is straightforward and stress-free:

  • Collect Your Documents: Whether you’ve been saving documents in a container or are amidst a file purge, gather everything you need shredded. Don’t let unneeded documents linger around, as this increases the risk of them being seen, lost, or stolen. A smart approach is to adopt a shred-all strategy, which involves shredding everything from discarded papers to magazines and junk mail to ensure nothing gets overlooked.
  • Visit Allegheny Records: Bring your documents to our location at 151 Destruction Lane in Greensburg during our operating hours. We’re conveniently situated off the William Penn Highway at the Evergreen Drive exit.
  • Leave Stress-Free: After dropping off your sensitive documents with our trained staff, you can rest assured that your papers will be securely handled and shredded on-site in our secure shredding plant.

On-Site and Off-Site Shredding

If drop-off shredding isn’t convenient, Allegheny makes it easier by coming right to your residence to pick up your discarded documents. Even more convenient is that you have choosing between on-site and off-site shredding. What’s the difference?

  • On-site shredding is performed at your location with shredding trucks that are equipped with industrial shredders and shred your paper at your location. Your documents never leave your premises unshredded. You have the freedom to witness the shredding process in real-time, providing immediate assurance that your documents are destroyed. Your documents are shredded in compliance with all state and federal privacy laws. Allegheny’s on-site shredding is ideal for large volumes of documents that need to be shredded regularly.
  • Off-site shredding occurs when your documents are collected from your location and transported to a secure shredding facility. One-time or schedule pickups can be arranged when needed. Allegheny’s facility has high-security measures as does the transporting of your documents. One advantage of off-site shredding is it is usually more cost-effective. Allegheny’s off-site shredding is great for any volume of documents, including smaller and less frequent shredding jobs.

No matter which you choose, you are still provided with all the same secure features listed below.

Secure Shredding

We don’t just say your information will be secure—we guarantee it. Here’s how we ensure your data is destroyed safely:

  • State-of-the-Art Equipment: Our industrial shredding machines are designed to completely and thoroughly shred your documents in compliance with state and federal privacy laws. Once shredded, your documents are irrecoverable, ensuring they cannot be read or reconstructed.
  • Certificate of Destruction: After your documents are shredded, we provide you with a Certificate of Destruction. This document serves as proof that your information was handled securely and destroyed as required. Keep this certificate for your records, as it can be referenced if any questions arise in the future.
  • Eco-Friendly Disposal: We are committed to not only protecting your information but also the environment. We recycle 100% of your shredded material, helping to keep paper out of landfills and reducing the need to cut down trees. Through recycling, your shredded documents will be repurposed into new paper products, which will eventually find their way back to retail shelves.

Allegheny Records offers residential shredding services with a convenient drop-off option, helping you protect your sensitive information from potential theft. No matter the quantity, we’re here to shred your discarded documents at your convenience.
