Make a Day of Purge Shredding with a Reliable Document Management Company 

We often think of December and the end of the year as the time to throw out those stacks of documents cluttering desks and the storage room. You know the ones. They start as one or two files sitting on the corner of a desk. The user thinks they will get the filing done ‘later,’ but ‘later’ never comes. Before anyone can blink, the year is half over, and the stack of two is now 20. You don’t have to wait until the end of the year to have a good clear-out. Instead of building file folder castles, use your dependable document management company to schedule annual or quarterly paper shredding purge days. These occasions will soon become an office favorite as everyone clears the clutter in an organized and efficient manner.
