PRIDE Industries Offers Document Destruction to Sacramento Area

PRIDE Industries of Roseville, Calif., one of the nation's largest employers of people with disabilities, will provide commercial document destruction services for sensitive and confidential information.

PRIDE document destruction services include scheduled pick up, secure transport and a Certificate of Destruction. The secure facility, located in the Natomas area of Sacramento, Calif., includes 20,000 square feet of space, video surveillance equipment, and high-end shredders and balers, according to PRIDE. Operations are in compliance with National Association for Information Destruction Inc. (NAID) and Secure Document Alliance (SDA) certification standards. (Secure Document Alliance members are nonprofit organizations that employ people with disabilities and provide NAID AAA-certified document destruction services.)

PRIDE estimates that up to 50 jobs for people with disabilities will be generated by this new business offering, which is part of Integrated Facilities Services at PRIDE.

"We are investing in training, equipment and technology to deliver higher quality document shredding services at a better price,” Fred Smith, vice president for Integrated Facilities Services at PRIDE, says. “Our shredders produce a finer end product, making it tougher to discern confidential information. And our chain of custody extends to the final byproduct, allowing us to issue a Certification of Destruction directly to our customer, confirming the secure process in its entirety,” he adds.

Through its Integrated Facilities Services division, PRIDE offers a full range of services to government and commercial customers, including: general custodial services; facilities and building maintenance; specialized cleaning for controlled environments; grounds maintenance; food service; recycling management; and administrative services.

A private nonprofit, PRIDE Industries offers integrated facilities management, manufacturing and logistics services and rehabilitation services. The company employs approximately 3,500 individuals nationally, including more than 2,500 people with disabilities.
