Time to Declutter: End of Year Purges

Making sure you have yourself on a decluttering schedule is important if you’re big on getting things purged by the end of the year. While most people don’t even consider document destruction as a declutter home tactic, it makes a difference. If you have a lot of paperwork at home and don’t want to go out to a facility or don’t have the capacity to shred it all on your own, a mobile shredding service may be just the thing for you.

Declutter Your Home or Office

Document shredding is standard when you’re in a declutter office mode. While offices have very sensitive documents that must be handled with care, the same goes for items that are at home. It’s always good to hold these forever:

• Academic records
• Birth or adoption certificates
• Marriage certificates
• Military records
• Passports
• Social Security Cards
• Death certificates
• Retirement and Pension Records

Although there are some documents that should be kept, there are also documents that must be shredded because they contain sensitive information. This includes bank statements, old IDs, pay stubs, old credit card statements, medical records or bills, tax returns. Anything that can help someone steal your identity should be flagged for shredding.

It’s also important to shred financial documents very carefully, whether in the home or office. The last thing you would want is for someone to get that information and use it. Mobile shredding services can help in getting rid of the clutter without having to leave the home or office and is a good solution to finally getting things done.

Mobile Shredding Services

Many people don’t know the value of having the convenience of mobile shredding. In fact, many people don’t even know they can contact a mobile shredding company to come and get their items or shred sensitive documents on the premises. Many offices have a plan where they utilize services of this nature on a monthly basis, just to keep things in order and avoid the unnecessary accumulation of documents they no longer need. Having a system in place keeps everyone alert around the office to ensure they have put their papers in the collection bin.
