Being FACTA Compliant; Secure Document Shredding
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) requires that all companies, regardless of their industry or size, protect sensitive data and properly dispose of such data collected about their customers.
FACTA of 2003 added new sections to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.), intended primarily to help consumers fight the growing crime of identity theft.
If you aren’t compliant with FACTA, you’re breaking the law.
Shred Instead can help your business prove that documents are shredded in a FACTA compliant manner. Shred it with Shred Instead and we’ll provide you with a Certificate of Destruction each time we perform paper shredding services for your company.

- Have Shred Instead provide free paper collection containers for your office and get on our affordable route disposal service.
- Have Shred Instead drive our paper shredding truck to your office and shred the boxes of files taking up valuable space in your storage rooms and/or warehouse.
