NO TRACE…FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED…DEPENDABLE…RESPONSIBLE

What sets NO TRACE Inc. apart from other shredding companies? 


  1. Pulverization! (not strip shredding or cross cut)

  2. Our output product is approximately 1/8” to 5/8” random pulverized pieces. Other companies produce a 5/8” width but the length can be as long as your document. Pulverization leaves no sensitive information: like social security numbers. We offer a government specified approved shred output, which has allowed us to do work for Federal Agencies.

  3. Environmentally Sustainable Shredding

  4. AAA (National Association of Information Destruction) NAID www.naidonline.org, for both our mobile and in plant services. NO TRACE Inc. is one of a very few companies in the bay area that are AAA NAID certified. There are many companies that are NAID members but, that does not give them the mandates that we follow to be the most secure shredding company available. Here are just some of the mandates we must follow as an AAA NAID certified company:

    1. Employee Clearance

      Drug screening, employment history, and criminal background checks (by a third party) enable us to exclude high risk individuals from our employment. This prevents our sensitive documents from falling into unsecure hands.

    2. Access Control

      Secure removal of pulverized documents, security of facilities, monitoring of alarms, and video monitoring and recording are of utmost importance at NO TRACE Inc. Our in-house shredder is fenced in from floor to razor wire at the ceiling. Only cleared personnel can enter this area.

    3. The Destruction Process
      1. We pride ourselves on the small particle pulverization size, document destruction timeframe, and disposal of destroyed materials. NO TRACE Inc. offers the most superior shred type, pulverization. We normally process all paper before closing time.
      2. We bale our paper into over 3/4 ton bricks of paper in our facility (no subcontracting).
      3. The bales then travel by rail car to Georgia Pacific to be recycled into household products. We never recycle our paper outside of the U.S.A.
      4. As of February 2011, We are now AAA NAID Certified in Micro Media Destruction and continue to be AAA NAID Certified in Paper & Hard Drive Destruction.

  5. Bay Area Green Business Certified. www.greenbiz.ca.gov

  6. NO TRACE Inc. runs the only mobile "green" pulverizing, shredding truck in the Bay Area.
