Confidential Destruction

Beginning July 2006 the campus has a new way of dealing with confidential destruction. Our vendor, NorCal Shred, is based in Chico, and provides regular on-site scheduled service using their state-of-the-art mobile shredding truck where the destruction of your confidential documents can be witnessed by our campus staff at the 7th and Oak Receiving Warehouse.

After receiving your on-line service request, our campus Movers will pick-up your confidential shredding and take it to the Receiving Warehouse. It is then put through a slot in the top of a locked rolling collection cart. Carts are securely locked with a padlock to prevent removal of disposed documents. NorCal Shred destroys the documents using their Shredfast PTS 300 mobile shred truck with a 5/8 Pierce and Tear shredding system. Keys to the collection carts are maintained by the driver of the truck only. The locking shred cart has a 96 gallon capacity and is emptied every two weeks.

NorCal Shred verifies that all contents within the containers are securely destroyed on-site at the Receiving Warehouse. They also verify that all reasonable and industry acceptable security and shredding practices are followed throughout the destruction process. All shredded paper is recycled.

Unfortunately NorCal Shred does not accept preshredded material due to the fact that the slot in the locked collection cart cannot take it in this form. They also do not accept binders or clips, but staples are OK. We ask that you remove your documents from binders, clips, and other fastners prior to its storage. If your department has already shredded your confidential documents, please label the boxes or bags for AS Recycling and leave it by your other recycling bins for pickup. If you have immediate needs for removal of preshreeded paper, please call AS Recycling at x5033 for pickup.
