The most commonly shredded business documents are payroll records, customer mailing lists, medical information, tax records and legal-client files, reports Accurate Document Destruction.

The 8-month-old Downers Grove company drives its truck-mounted paper shredders to customers’ back doors so they can watch the machines gobble up old records at a rate of 1,200 pounds an hour. That’s roughly what 25 to 30 bankers boxes hold.

The company also shreds credit cards, which might be a good idea this time of year.
