FAQs

Arlington Heights Records Management FAQs

Common questions about storage, shredding, and compliance in Chicago’s northwest suburbs.

Records storage, document scanning, paper shredding, hard drive destruction, and data protection all run through this location, along with document workflow solutions for organizations moving off paper entirely. The services work on their own but are usually more economical combined — scanning the records you actively use, storing the ones you must keep, and shredding what has aged past its retention period. The local support team handles scheduling and account management directly, so you are working with people who know your building rather than a national queue.

This location operates from 1735 E. Davis St, Arlington Heights, IL 60005, and the local number is (815) 464-6363. It serves the northwest suburbs, while our Tinley Park facility on Graphics Drive covers the city and the south and west suburbs. Two facilities in one metro means shorter routes and more scheduling flexibility than a single building could offer, particularly for organizations with offices on both sides of Chicago. If you are not sure which location covers your address, either team can tell you in a phone call.

Arlington Heights, Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Northbrook, Downers Grove, La Grange, Gurnee, Aurora, Bolingbrook, Naperville, and Joliet are all in the service area, which also extends into Kenosha, Wisconsin and Michigan City, Indiana. Coverage is scheduled by address rather than by municipality, so locations not named here are often still serviceable. If your organization has offices on both sides of the metro, we can run them through one account regardless of which facility handles each pickup.

Yes, and for multi-site organizations it is usually the first real cost saving available. Businesses with offices across the metro often end up with separate vendors, separate invoices, and no consistent retention policy between sites. Consolidating onto one account gives you a single inventory in VitalWeb, one retention schedule applied everywhere, and one point of contact — while pickups still run from whichever facility is closest to each office. That matters most for regulated industries, where inconsistent destruction practices between locations are the thing an auditor finds.

Yes. The Illinois Personal Information Protection Act requires businesses to dispose of records containing personal information so the data cannot be read or reconstructed. For employers holding biometric data, the Biometric Information Privacy Act adds its own destruction requirement — biometric identifiers must go once the collection purpose is met or within three years of the person’s last interaction, whichever comes first. Federal rules under FACTA and HIPAA apply on top of both. Shredding through a NAID AAA Certified vendor with a Certificate of Destruction is how you document that any of it was actually done.

It depends on the record type and your industry. Tax and financial records are generally held seven years, employment records vary by statute, and Illinois healthcare providers face their own retention minimums for patient records. Units of local government are a separate case entirely — the Local Records Act requires Local Records Commission approval before public records are destroyed, so a municipality cannot simply schedule a purge. We build destruction schedules around whatever retention policy applies to you, so records are destroyed when they are eligible rather than sitting in storage indefinitely.
