FAQs

Chicago Records Management FAQs

Common questions about storage, scanning, and secure destruction in Chicagoland.

Four services run directly out of the Chicago-area facility: records storage, document scanning, paper shredding, and media vaulting for backup tapes. Each has its own page with the specifics, including what the local team handles versus what routes through our wider network. Beyond those four, Chicagoland clients also have access to hard drive destruction, IT asset disposition, one-time purge shredding, and document workflow automation. If you are not sure which combination fits, most clients start with a walkthrough of what they are currently storing and paying for, and the answer usually becomes obvious from there.

Chicago service runs from 7700 Graphics Dr, Tinley Park, IL 60477, and the local number is (708) 263-4292. Tinley Park puts the building on the I-80 corridor southwest of the city, which is deliberate: it keeps regular pickups running into the Loop and out through the south and west suburbs without you paying downtown rates to warehouse boxes you touch twice a year. The Tinley Park team is who you will actually work with, not a call center in another state. Walk-in hours vary, so call ahead before driving over with anything.

Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, and Will counties are all covered, along with the city itself. Named communities include Arlington Heights, Aurora, Bolingbrook, Carol Stream, Crystal Lake, DeKalb, Elgin, Elk Grove Village, Joliet, Libertyville, Naperville, Northbrook, Oak Brook, Oak Lawn, Oak Park, Orland Park, Schaumburg, Skokie, Tinley Park, and Waukegan. Coverage also reaches Rockford to the northwest and Merrillville, Indiana to the southeast. Because pickups are scheduled by address rather than by municipality, we can often serve locations not named here. Ask us to confirm coverage before you commit to anything.

Yes. The Illinois Personal Information Protection Act obligates businesses to dispose of materials containing personal information in a way that makes it unreadable or undecipherable, which in practice means shredding, pulverizing, or equivalent destruction rather than a recycling bin. The federal FACTA Disposal Rule and HIPAA set the same standard for consumer report data and protected health information. Using a NAID AAA Certified vendor and keeping the Certificate of Destruction gives you documented proof that disposal met the standard, which is the part that matters if you are ever asked to demonstrate it after the fact.

The Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act requires a written retention schedule and destruction guidelines for biometric identifiers, and destruction once the collection purpose is satisfied or within three years of the individual’s last interaction with you, whichever comes first. That catches more Chicago employers than expected, since fingerprint timeclocks and palm scanners are common on warehouse and manufacturing floors. BIPA is among the most actively litigated privacy statutes in the country, so the destruction side is worth documenting. We can build a destruction schedule around your retention policy and issue certificates as records age out.

Shredding is priced by volume rather than by the page, so the honest answer depends on how much paper you have and how often you need it handled. A recurring program with locked containers on site prices differently than a one-time purge of a filing room, and offsite destruction generally runs less than mobile shredding because we process in bulk at the plant. Tell the Tinley Park team roughly what you are dealing with — a few boxes, a storage room, a full floor — and they will quote against your actual volume instead of a flat rate.
