Boom Time for Shredders

Identity theft hurts consumers, and it can cost companies that have put private data at risk thousands of dollars in fines.

But the problem has sprouted a growing industry -- information destruction -- that continues to move forward even though the economy has turned sour.

In central Ohio, roughly a dozen companies are certified in the industry, which includes shredding tons of paper and electronic devices, and wiping information from computers and other electronic equipment.

Established companies in the information destruction industry are growing an average of 10 percent to 25 percent each year, said Tim Oberst, president and chief executive of Ohio Mobile Shredding and president-elect of the National Association of Information Destruction.

Did you know that medical records are one of the primary targets for identity thieves? Thieves can steal your identity to get health services or insurance under your name. And just like your credit history, it's important to keep track of your medical records, shredding any copies of them the second you're done.
