-Shred-it's Best-In-Class Document Destruction Program Provides
OfficeMax Customers with Peace of Mind- NAPERVILLE, Ill., Jan. 5
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- OfficeMax®, a leading provider of office
supplies and services, and Shred-it, a world-leading information
security company, today announced a joint partnership to provide a
new, convenient secure document destruction service to consumers
and small businesses alike. Beginning in January, OfficeMax will
offer the Shred-it document destruction program at nearly all of
the company's more than 1,000 stores nationwide as part of its
OfficeMax ImPress® suite of in-store print and document services.
Under the new program, OfficeMax customers will be able to bring
unneeded confidential documents for secure destruction to any
OfficeMax ImPress counter nationwide. Shred-it will provide on-site
locked security consoles that will safely store the materials to
ensure privacy. Documents will be stored there securely until
destroyed on-site at the OfficeMax location by a Shred-it mobile
shredding vehicle, following a tight security process. Once the
materials have been destroyed, the OfficeMax location will keep a
Certificate of Destruction on file for three years that will be
available to customers upon request. "We are excited to enter into
a partnership with Shred-it because the demand for secure document
shredding services is growing. Shred-it offers the best solution
and is considered the gold standard in the industry," said Ryan
Vero, EVP and Chief Merchandising Officer for OfficeMax. "Now
customers will be able to safely dispose their confidential
materials because the Shred-it process prevents privacy leaks
during destruction and ensures peace of mind." "Shred-it is
delighted about the new strategic partnership with OfficeMax," says
Mike Skidmore, Chief Security Officer at Shred-it. "There is a
growing need for secure document destruction as a preventative
measure against identity theft and privacy breaches, and this
partnership will allow everyday consumers to use Shred-it's secure
document destruction services at OfficeMax's convenient locations
across the country." OfficeMax and Shred-it conducted a 10-month
pilot of the document destruction program in select OfficeMax
retail locations. Pricing for the new service is determined by
weight of the materials to be shredded: $.59 per pound for up to
five pounds, $.49 per pound for six to ten pounds, and $.39 per
pound for 11 pounds and above. To view a complete a list of items
