Why Homes in Philadelphia Need to Shred Their Documents

Residential shredding services help homes in Philadelphia stay secure

Most people have plenty of security measures in place to protect their families and their large investments. People lock their home and cars regularly to ensure they don’t get stolen, broken into or damaged. But because it’s intangible, people often forget to make the same effort to keep their identity safe. If you have documents with private information in your home, they are at risk of being stolen and used against you. No matter how good your home security system is, and no matter what Philadelphia neighborhood you live in, you are still vulnerable.

How Do Identities Get Stolen?

Every year incidences of identity theft in Pennsylvania and nationwide are on the rise. Far too often people find themselves as victims of identity theft without having a clue as to how it happened. And unfortunately, it could have been caused by something as simple as having thrown their personal papers in the trash. Because it’s so common that people mindlessly throw away bank statements, medical records, and credit card information, thieves know to target your trash and will dumpster dive to obtain your information. This is why document shredding is so vital.

There are laws in place that protect victims of identity theft. Federal law states that victims cannot be held responsible for any more than $50 in fraudulent charges on their accounts. However, if you factor in the costs of the time and effort spent trying to reorganize a financial situation and rebuild a credit score, the cost of shredding your paperwork before tossing it certainly becomes more reasonable.

What You Can Do to Protect Your Private Information in Philadelphia

Document shredding services are not just for large companies anymore. Advancements in the field of paper shredding have made it easier than ever for households to make use of these services. Philadelphia Document Shredding offers on site shredding options if you’d like to watch to make sure your documents are destroyed, and off site shredding options, if you are looking for a more economical solution. Both services have a truck come directly to your Philadelphia location to pick up your documents, and a certificate of destruction is always issued.

These services make shredding services so easy, there’s no reason not to have your personal documents shredded before you toss them. These days it’s the smart, affordable thing to do. Philadelphia Document Shredding’s contractors can pick up anywhere from one box of paperwork to a warehouse full of documents from anywhere in Pennsylvania and easily destroy them in minutes.
