When you think of paper trails, you probably envision corporate bigwigs shredding sensitive documents before the SEC or IRS come knocking. But a paper shredder isn't just a party favor for white-collar wrongdoers. Keep in mind that back in 2005, the federal government added a provision to the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) that actually requires businesses to shred their employees' confidential tax information so thieves can't dig it out from the trash. This also applies to homeowners who employ a gardener or any other household help.

So if you have to do it anyway, you might as well find a quality product at a low price to get the job done. We have an extensive selection of paper shredders in all shapes and sizes that can take on jobs of almost any volume. Many of our shredders have anti-jam features so you can finish shredding your paper with little to no interruption. So follow the law and pick up a paper shredder, then pat yourself on the back for protecting your employees. Just don't forget to take off your tie before you get started.
