The photos on the website showed trucks from the Shred-it company. I know that they shred on-site, in the trucks. They dump your boxes directly into the shredders on their trucks, while you watch.

Since the whole idea of shredding is to keep others from viewing sensitive information, my preference is to not have that information placed in the hands of others before it is shredded. Of course I understand that many people have a different preference, based on the number of cars shown in the photographs of the event. My attitudes may be shaped from my experience working for the Navy. We personally shredded our classified documents. We did not give them to anyone else for shredding, even if they had a security clearance. The shredder was an advanced model which turned the paper into dust particles smaller than a period at the end of a sentence. >how big a risk do you consider this to be? > >Alvin Auerbach wrote: >>Note that the shedding is not done in front of your eyes.
