Why Shred?

Identity theft is one of the fastet growing crimes

Itentity theft occurs when an individual's or company's personal or confidential information is obtained and used by another person without their knowledge. Identity fraud happens when criminals use this information fraudulently to obtain credit, goods or other services in that person's or company's name

How does identity fraud happen?

Every day you deal with thousands of pieces of information: reports, business plans, financial data, customer pricing, names and addresses, credit card details. Identity thieves will "raid" your rubbish bin to steal this information. It's faster, easier and more lucrative than burglary. To a fraudster the information you throw out is worth it's weight in gold.

What to Shred?

Every piece of paper or document that contains some form of information or data that may be of use to criminals, fraudsters or competitors should be shredded before it is thrown in the bin or recycled.
