Furthermore, contractors must ensure that their clients personal and business is kept safe.  If not properly destroyed before discarding, a contractor could open themselves up to a federal fines and possibly a lawsuit.  Make sure all receipts, invoices, contracts or correspondence that has your clients information on it is sent through a crosscut shredder before you throw it away.  Paper shredders are simply an inexpensive form of business insurance.
