Education Shredding and Non-Profit Shredding Services

It is crucial that schools and educational institutions keep a close eye on their confidential documents, especially regarding their students. Student records can project highly sensitive information that could devastate the educational institution if there was a breach in security.

With identity theft still a high-risk priority for schools and non-profit organization, PROSHRED’s RISC program is set to promote awareness on identity theft and reducing the chances of a breach.

Many educational institutions have adopted our Residential Information Security Containers (RISC) program to keep special “RISC” boxes near an administrator’s or teacher’s desk. Once the person is finished using a specific document and no longer needs it, they can store it in a RISC box (similar to a banker’s box). Once PROSHRED makes its monthly or weekly collections, that RISC box goes into the main PROSHRED bin, at which point it is shredded on-site. The RISC program had great success in school districts across the United States with participating students, parents and teachers.
