Document Destruction

Paper document security is just as important as electronic security. Research shows that most identity thieves obtain information through traditional paper-based sources rather than electronic channels.

Every day at Cass Community Social Services, Green Industries’ employees are responsible for destroying sensitive documents for security-conscious customers. Since 2007, the workers have serviced documents for doctors, lawyers, accountants and other professionals, all while providing vital jobs for workers with disabilities.

“We can talk about the number of adults with developmental disabilities that we employ. We can talk about being environmentally friendly… but the most important service we offer — and what our customers are looking for—is security.”
Rev. Faith Fowler, Executive Director
