Big Dog Shred Bins Opens New Warehouse
Shredding container manufacturer Big Dog Shred Bins USA, Lakeside, Calif., has announced the opening of a new warehouse in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, to support its growth.

Although the container manufacturer says it will continue to be based in California, the new warehouse will serve customers on the East Coast.

“We have seen substantial growth both as a company and in the document destruction industry as a whole,” Danielle Levac, sales manager for Big Dog Shred Bins USA, says. “There was a real need to better service paper shredders in eastern North America, and this new warehouse helps fill that need.”

Big Dog Shred Bins supplies a full line of secure shredding consoles, shred carts and “swap-out” paper collection bins to document destruction companies across North America.

According to Levac, Big Dog Shred Bins USA’s recent partnership with Craig Busch, owner of container manufacturer Busch Systems, based in Barrie, has helped to accelerate the company’s growth.

California Recycler Adds UNTHA Shredder
Zak Enterprises, an information technology (IT) recycling and data security company based in the San Francisco area, has expanded its services to include the destruction of hard drives, tapes and other data storage devices with the purchase of an UNTHA America RS30 shredder.

The RS30, which was introduced 25 years ago, has been redesigned and now requires less maintenance, UNTHA says.

Located in Hampton, N.H., UNTHA Shredding Technology America Inc. is a division of the Austrian-based UNTHA Shredding Technology GmbH.

Zak Enterprises, a member of the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID), serves a range of businesses, including hospitals, universities, law firms, banks and government agencies. The company provides data destruction services to the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and Department of Defense 5220.22-M specifications.

Greg Hall, director of enterprise sales with Zak Enterprises, says, “We are very pleased with the RS30.”

He adds that the main cutters of the RS30 preshred and reshred material in a single pass, with secondary cutters returning unshredded material back to the main cutting chamber.
