Not Shredding Can Be Costly
Texas Insurance Claims Services in Richardson is the latest business to make the news for what is in their dumpster. The company had boxes of customers' personal information sitting out for anyone to see. They story was reported to WFAA after a man was taking pictures of the dumpsters contents. The man claimed he was just looking for boxes but it is unclear why he was taking pictures. The business owner said the files were five years old and he was no longer required to save them. The cost of the fines will easily exceed the cost of the paper shredding.

The first thing i did when i started holding on to clients and customers details was hire a confidential shredding company to shred and correctly dispose of all my waste. It is a must for any business.
