The response to get with legal counsel is a very sound recommendation. I
too would be nervous if a shredder wanted "title" to my documents needing
destruction. Doesn't "title" mean I own it and can do what I want?
This reminded me of a question I have for the group.
I am in the Birmingham AL region. Just very recently I have begun to
notice trucks that has signs
CINTAS
Documant Destruction.
If I recall, Cintas was a commercial uniform supplier. So my question to
you all is - Did the just start this or who did the buy? I still see the
Shred-It trucks around town.. Another question I have is, do you suspect we
will begin to see consolidation in the shredding industry as we have in the
late 90's with record storage companies.

Hello,
I have been a "lurker" on this list for the past 2 years, and this is my
first public posting. Personal background: I worked as an archivist and
manager at the National Archives of the United States for 26 years and have
been with the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Archives for a number of
years. I have found this listserve to be an invaluable source of information
and guidance, and hope you can help with a question I have.
My question to the list is as follows:
We operate both an archival facility and a small (ca. 11, 000 cu.ft.)
records center; the latter is located about 4 miles from the archives. We
dispose of about 1500 cu.ft. of non-permanent paper records each year from the
records center. The company that for many years removed and pulped these
records for us recently changed hands. The new management is now asking us
to sign a Services Agreement (the former management never did this) that
among other things requires us to transfer title of the records to them
when they remove the records.
I am wondering whether any list members who do business with records
removal/shredding/pulping companies have been asked to sign agreements that
contain such a requirement? Is it common practice for these companies to
require that title to the records be transferred to them? Should we be wary of
such a requirement?
Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
