Document shredding for Government & Townships
Ohio public offices follow retention schedules approved through the Ohio History Connection and county records commissions, and destruction must be documented. The certificate of destruction is what closes the loop on a records disposal form.
Who this is for
Villages, cities, townships, county offices, courts, police departments, public libraries and water and sewer districts.
What needs shredding
Records past their retention schedule, personnel files, court and police records, tax and utility billing, permit applications, and public records that must be destroyed only after the retention period and with documentation.
The rule that applies
records retention rules — and the certificate of destruction that documents you followed it.
What we recommend
One-time purges after the records commission approves disposal, scheduled around your meeting calendar. Service-disabled veteran-owned businesses are often eligible for set-aside consideration in public purchasing.

Questions we get from government & townships
Do you provide documentation for our records commission?
Yes. The certificate lists date, volume and method and can be attached to your disposal certificate.
Are you a certified service-disabled veteran-owned business?
We are service-disabled veteran-owned. Ask us about certification status and the paperwork your purchasing office needs.
Can the public watch?
Yes. Some townships schedule the purge to coincide with a community Shred Day for residents.
