A facilities manager wheels three locked consoles to a loading bay. Barcodes are scanned, chain of custody starts, and a mobile unit’s camera shows documents reduced to uniform particles while an auditor checks the screen. A Certificate of Destruction is issued, storage space is cleared, and risk drops to near zero. That is how Shredding Services should work. Black Ops Destruction is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business with over 31 years of experience, veteran-led, discreet, and documented, serving clients across the Midwest from Cleveland to Louisville.

Why Shredding Services Matter for Businesses and Individuals

Paper records still carry the most damaging details, from PHI and card numbers to contracts and R&D notes. Delaying a secure purge raises exposure to identity theft, data breaches, and compliance fines. For a household, a few bank statements in the trash can invite fraud. For a clinic or manufacturer, a misplaced file can trigger reportable incidents, legal fees, and brand damage. Shredding Services eliminate readable content, create an audit trail, and keep sensitive information out of circulation.
