We provide a quality service at a competitive price
and we also provide the training the support
that our employees need to be successful. We opted to do off site shredding because
we can employee more than one person in the service.
Our mission
is to take persons with significant disabilities
who most have never had a job before in their lives,
and give them the opportunity to develop the skill sets
so they can go out and get competitive employment on their own.
One of the other activities that we do at Shred for Good
is we provide a public service where individuals who live in the community
on Tuesdays and Thursdays can actually bring their secure documents
to our Shred for Good location, and we'll shred them for free.
We pull out the contaminants, and then we shred them.
When they're shredded, they are made into a large bale.
And those bales are then sent to a pulp mill,
and that pulp mill makes new paper.
So the total operation of Shred for Good becomes
a green program. It's a hundred percent recycling. The biggest certification that
we have is called the NAID Triple A certification. NAID is the National Association for Information Destruction.
They are the industry regulators for secure document destruction
worldwide. Working with the federal government was actually the beginning of
Shred for Good. We were able to secure a
decent size contract with a
very prominent federal government agency, and we
expanded our geographical network to include them.
We are probably more secure than our competitors, and the
other benefit is you get the good feeling of employing people with disabilities.
