Security
Reliability
Pier 96 in San Francisco is home to Shredding & Destruction Services' enclosed secure document destruction facility. There our customer's documents are confidentially destroyed within 24 hour of collection.
Our Facility
- All non-employees entering the document destruction area must sign a log with time-in and time-out. In addition, NO access to the area is allowed unless escorted by a Shredding & Destruction Services employee.
- There is a secure area within the operation that is devoted to the process of destroying all materials.
- Materials are always attended by a company employee or physically secured from unauthorized access while awaiting destruction.
- There is also a motion activated closed-circuit internal video system from multiple angles monitoring the destruction facility and employee activity 24 hours a day.
- Our destruction area is equipped with a dedicated, monitored alarm system.
- Paper is destroyed to particle size that is smaller than the National Association for Information Destruction standard of 5/8ths of an inch. Shredded paper is then commingled with similar grade recycled paper and immediately baled and loaded into containers for recycling shipment.
- The National Association for Information Destruction standard operating practice dictates that all media is destroyed within 72 hours of acceptance. Shredding & Destruction Services destroys material the same day of acceptance or the following day if delivered to our facility late in the day.

- All vehicles have lockable secure cabs and lockable secure cargo compartments.
