There are more and more document shredding companies moving into Portland every day. Some enter the Portland market place by gobbling up locally owned document shredding companies while others are add the paper shredding service to their list of services already offered. Here are some things to look out for when selecting a document shredding company to dispose of your sensitive documents.

• Is the company you are hiring AAA NAID certified? This certification means that the company meets the highest level of security. Under this program, everyone handling your documents must pass a 7 year criminal background test as well as submit to random drug screening. The certification is very thorough and mandates procedures, shred size, equipment type and maintenance. EFI Secured Shredding and Recycling is the only locally owned and opperated document shredding service in Portland.
  
  
• Is the company easy to get a hold of? The best way to test this is simply pick up the phone and call. This is the company you are trusting with your most sensitive information. They should be able to be reached without getting redirected through voice prompts and or sitting on hold for 30 minutes. Getting the best customer service is worth a couple extra dollars.
  
  
• Is the company local? Where will your money go after you pay for the service? Take care of your local economy and pick a local company rather than a nationwide shredding company that will be difficult to get a hold of.
  
  
• Is the company concerned about the environment? Many shredding companies are just shredding companies and nothing more. Pick a document shredding company that has made a commitment to the environment and make sure your securely shredded material is being recycled.
