Nishika,
My thoughts are that if the company takes them before destruction, you have no long have control over them, and therefore don't know for sure what they actually have been destroyed. They could sit on an open loading dock for any amount of time; they could be riffled through by unknown persons; they could end up anywhere. The feds are more and more concerned about identity theft, so if there is personnel info, such as SS#s, you are taking a big risk.

Subject: Secure destruction of Confidential Information
Hello,
We have been approached by a company that is offering to take our
confidential documents and destroy it via a pulping process for a very
low cost (They get to keep the pulp at the end of the process).
Currently we use a shredding company to come onsite and do all our
shredding.
Are there any other organizations/ companies that are destroying their
confidential docs this way? If yes any thoughts/ concerns that I need to
keep in mind?
Regards
Nishika Gupta
