Document shredding in Birmingham

Secure document shredding in Birmingham.

Harvest puts locked bins in your office, collects them on your schedule, and gives you a certificate of destruction for every job. The paper is recycled here in Alabama, and your records live in the same client portal as your medical waste manifests.

How it works

1. Locked bins stay in your office. Staff drop papers in. No one can reach back in.
2. We pick up on your schedule. Weekly, monthly, or when you call.
3. The contents are destroyed and recycled here in Alabama.
4. You get a certificate of destruction for every job, stored in your client portal.

Shredding and HIPAA

HIPAA requires practices to protect patient information through disposal. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lists shredding and pulping as proper ways to make paper records unreadable, and says a practice can use a disposal vendor to pick up and destroy them.

A certificate of destruction for every pickup gives you a record that it happened, kept where you can find it.

Who we serve

Medical and dental offices, clinics, surgery centers, labs, and hospital systems in Birmingham and across Alabama.

One vendor for waste and paper

If Harvest already picks up your medical waste, shredding runs on the same account. One invoice, one portal, one number to call. We also offer compliance courses, including HIPAA and OSHA, in that same portal.
