About our document destruction business:

New Beginnings performs pick-up, paper shredding, document destruction and recycling for
businesses and individuals.

All shredding is done on site at our work activity centers in Neodesha, Eureka and Moline by individuals
with developmental disabilities.
Why Shred?

Every Business Has Information That Requires Destruction.

All businesses have occasion to discard confidential data. Customers lists, price lists, sales statistics,
drafts of bids and correspondence, and even memos, contain information about business activity
which would interest any competitor. Every business is also entrusted with information that must be
kept private. Employees and customers have the legal right to have this data protected. Without the
proper safeguards, information ends up in the trash can where it is readily, and legally, available to
anybody. Business espionage professionals consider the trash the single most available source of
competitive and private information from the average business. Any establishment that discards private
and proprietary data without the benefit of destruction exposes itself to the risk of criminal and civil
prosecution, as well as the costly loss of business.

Information Protection Is A Vital Issue To Senior Management.

In a survey conducted by the Conference Board, top executives from 300 companies ranked the
security of company records as one of the top five critical issues facing business. When asked which
issues required immediate attention and policy development, the security of company records ranked
second only to employee health screening.
Did You Know...

Paper makes up 40% of the trash in our landfills. Recycling saves natural resources and there are
many uses for the paper when you get done with it.

You are giving a person with a disability a job.
All of our employees who sort, shred, and recycle paper, have a developmental disability. Your support
of our program enhances their lives.
