❋ What is Certified Destruction?
Certain types of waste need to be shredded or destroyed rather than thrown in the trash. These regulations may vary depending on where you live. When a company destroys waste for you, you’ll receive a certificate of destruction, which provides detailed information about what was destroyed, who it was destroyed for, and when it occurred.
Certified destruction helps reduce the liabilities of businesses. The paperwork you receive will prove that your business followed all the proper waste disposal security laws.
Here are some things you’ll find on a certificate of destruction:
A serialized transaction number
A transfer of custody stating that materials were turned over and destroyed on the listed date
Policies, terms, and conditions that both parties agreed to
The date and location of the destruction
The name of someone who witnessed the destruction process
Before you agree to a certified destruction, make sure you confirm that you will get this certificate. Discuss what will be included on the certificate to make sure you have all the necessary requirements for the disposal laws in your area.❋ Where to Go for Certified Destruction
