Paper Bee Gone goes on-site
Mike Such, co-owner of Junk Bee Gone with wife, Tracy Such, said Paper Bee Gone is an on-site service, so the shredding can be done at the customer’s facility or office.
Potential customers can go to the website, www.paperbeegone.com, or they can call Junk Bee Gone’s office, 865-675-5865 for the service.
“To aid our local community and celebrate our opening, we’re hosting a free shred day every Wednesday,” Mike Such said.
He explained between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. every Wednesday, “(customers) can bring two banker or copy paper boxes to our office, and we will take two boxes for free. If they have more than that, it’s just $10 a box.”
Mike Such added all the paper gets 100 percent recycled, “so we’re as green as we can be.”
Powered by Junk Bee Gone, “We make sure to take every precaution,” he said. “We make sure our technicians are properly trained, they are background-checked — and at Paper Bee Gone, we make sure our employees are all vaccinated (COVID-19) also.”
And timing could not be better for businesses that are purging old documents to clear out storage space.
“You’ve got to keep seven years’ documentation … so everyone goes through and purges,” Mike Such said. “We can come out and shred them all up.”
Mike and Tracy established Junk Bee Gone, which is locally owned and operated, in Farragut in 2005.
“We’ve been the No. 1 junk removal company in Town,” he said. “Our goal is to be the No. 1 locally owned shredding company in town. We have the same honesty, integrity and trust we stand behind.
“We actually started doing off-site document shredding in 2010,” Mike Such added. “We’ve just been offering the service along the way, but this year will be our first year that we actually went and bought a Shred Tech truck to do on-site paper shredding and hard disc destruction right at the clients’ facility.
“It was just to the point we were getting so many requests for on-site, it just made sense, at this point, to go out and buy the proper truck to do (shredding) on-site at their facilities.”
By going to customers’ offices, “the chain of custody is much shorter because (the customer) is just walking out with the documents and they’re shredded right there,” Mike Such said. “There’s a lot of security involved in that whole piece of the puzzle.
“We’re 100 percent HIPAA compliant, so we already have customers — from doctors, dentists and lawyers to everyday small businesses. It’s just a neat service to provide,” he added.
As for more aspects of this new service, “We offer recurring shredding, so we can drop off office bins for businesses,” Mike Such said. “We also offer one-time purges for people who, once a year, go through a bunch of their boxes and decide what needs to be shredded.
“We can come out for that,” he added. “We are the only company that will actually remove the boxes from the facility. We’ll go upstairs, downstairs, wherever the boxes are.”
Moreover, “We also offer drop-off service,” Mike Such said. “People can come to our office here and drop off one box, 10 boxes, whatever they have.
“The other neat thing we had the opportunity to do is shred events,” he added. “If we have certain customers, whether it be a bank or a business, that wants to have on-site shredding for their customers, we can come out for three or four hours on a Friday or a Saturday and do a free shred event for their customers.”
Junk Bee Gone’s office is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday; from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays; and closed on Sundays.
