What not to Store in your Self-Store Unit

Resource Conservation at Storage Facilities

Every year, every home might have a good amount of paper documents to dispose off. If there is not much to throw away we make use of a small document shredder. If we have given up all our documents to be managed by a storage facility in Abu Dhabi, then document shredding can easily be carried out there. The main reason we destroy the documents that aren’t required is because we are concerned about the safety of our identity and finances. What happens after that?

Instead of throwing the waste in trash cans, some Abu Dhabi storage companies deliberately take the shredded paper to be recycled, while some keep ‘document recycling services’ as an option. Either way all storage companies contribute towards energy and resource conservation. If you are part of a huge organization, it would only be fair on your part to check if the documents being shredded on-site or at the storage facility are being recycled or not. The idea is to spread the word about recycling for a better future. The benefits of recycling are always valued. Document shredding and document recycling services not only benefit the environment. They can also benefit you as an individual from rising issues such as identity theft and personal security.
