Government & Public Sector: Compliant Document Destruction
Secure document destruction for municipalities, counties, and Illinois state agencies. On-site shredding, hard drive destruction, and Certificates of Destruction for government organizations across Illinois.
Why government organizations call us
Public agencies face a unique combination of mandatory retention rules and mandatory destruction rules. Hold a record too long and you've expanded your FOIA exposure; destroy it the wrong way and you've created an Illinois Local Records Commission problem. Either way, taxpayers and the press notice.
How we work with government clients
We work with your records officer to align pickup schedules with the Illinois Local Records Commission's destruction approval cycle. Locked containers serve every department from clerks to public safety. Each shred generates a numbered Certificate of Destruction suitable for your records-disposal log.
