Turn Your Office Processes Green


With another Earth Day approaching, many businesses are looking for new ideas on going green. One local expert says changing the way you manage and dispose of files and records can be good for the environment and your business.

"No matter what your business, chances are you have boxes full of confidential files that, at some point, will need to be disposed of," said Marshall Stevens, co-owner of Stevens & Stevens Business Records Management, a full-service records storage and management center. "Too often those old files end up in a landfill, which is bad for the environment and poses a security problem for your business."

In order to get a handle on your files in an eco-friendly manner, Stevens suggests establishing a records management and shredding plan.
