US laws state that there has to be an office paper recycling program.

Office shredder is best for safeguarding leak able information forever.

When pages are collected for disposal they give opportunity to anyone, company insider or someone from outside, who wants to obtain information.

In accounts departments profit & loss statements, bills, audits, customer account records, financial statements, work sheets, letters of credit, tax records, checks, data processing all these pose hazards if they are stolen so they need to be disposed of properly

In executive Offices confidential documents, correspondence, agreements, contracts, executive reports, financial records, labor negotiations, committee reports, charts and graphs, periodicals, meeting proceedings are all put into shredders after they are no longer required.

In offices of law contracts, correspondence, warranties, depositions, affidavits, pleadings, judgments, decisions, insurance files, promissory notes, cancelled checks, tax information, patent designs, option agreements are handy information for unauthorized personnel so such offices require the use of office shredder .
