CASE STUDY:
-EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED WHEN PURGING RECORDS-
We have had MANY humorous experiences shredding records for our customers who just want a “one-time” “purge”. Let’s see, as we have emptied boxes of paper documents into our shred bins we have had our customers accidentally try to have us shred, live ammunition, shoes, hammers, screw drivers, and even other “inappropriate” items. One of the best stories took place several years ago at a large agribusiness located just outside of Salem.
When the day of the shredding project arrived, Shred Northwest showed up with a few mobile shred trucks ready to destroy about 10 tons worth of paper. Our customer directed our employees to some shipping containers that were being used to lock up some of their corporate data (an innovative storage method that worked for their needs) The doors were opened and we started shredding.
“Shredding”….ehhh…well it just so happens that there were a bunch of rats that had somehow gained access to the shipping containers before us (for some time) and today was a special day for them also, but not because we were there to shred. In fact, our shred day (which the rats certainly were not expecting)….was their ”birth-day”. To be clear…there were baby rats everywhere! These boxes of old archive paper records had become a very comfy “litter box” for rats. The rats had started shredding and the destroying the paper, but we finished the job for them. The rats had been at it for years, and we needed hours…some really gross hours.
It was a nasty day…and one we will long forget! LOL!
