Supporting Local Businesses: Why Choosing Blue-Pencil Matters

When it comes to document management and shredding services, businesses often have a choice between large multinational providers and local companies. While big-name brands may have recognition, there’s a compelling case for choosing a local provider like Blue-Pencil. From personalized service to supporting the local economy, the benefits of going local extend far beyond the bottom line. Blue-Pencil’s commitment to maintaining high standards of security, efficiency, and customer service across a wide range of offerings, including document storage, shredding, and scanning, makes them an excellent choice.

Personalized Service Tailored to Your Needs

One of the biggest advantages of choosing a local business like Blue-Pencil is the personalized service you receive. Unlike multinational corporations, which often rely on rigid systems and generic solutions, Blue-Pencil is committed to understanding and meeting the unique needs of each customer. Blue-Pencil makes it easy to speak directly with a team member who listens carefully to your needs. There’s no getting lost in automated systems or dealing with representatives unfamiliar with your situation. Instead, you’ll work with real people who understand local businesses and can help develop custom solutions that make sense for you. Educating employees about records management is crucial for enhancing efficiency and effectiveness. A solid document management program benefits both employees and the organization by improving productivity and ensuring the secure handling of confidential information. Additionally, unlike large public corporations focused on maximizing shareholder profits, Blue-Pencil prioritizes providing value to its customers and community. This focus allows for flexibility in creating services that truly meet your needs, rather than being constrained by corporate policies or profit-driven agendas. When you choose Blue-Pencil, you’re not just another account number—you’re a valued client with a partner who cares about your success and is invested in your community.

Supporting Local Businesses and the Economy

Choosing a local provider isn’t just about great service; it’s also about investing in your community. Every dollar spent with Blue-Pencil stays within the region, contributing to local jobs, economic growth, and community development. For example, Blue-Pencil’s local investments in community projects have led to the renovation of public spaces and support for local schools.

Creating Local Jobs: As a locally owned business, Blue-Pencil hires from the community, supporting families and strengthening the local workforce.
Economic Impact: By choosing local, you help boost the region’s economy, creating a ripple effect that benefits other businesses and organizations.

Supporting Blue-Pencil means strengthening the community you’re part of and ensuring the continued success of local enterprises.

Understanding Local Needs

Being locally owned and operated gives Blue-Pencil a unique advantage: intimate knowledge of the community and its needs. This understanding allows us to deliver services that are both effective and convenient.

Familiarity with Regulations: Local businesses often face region-specific compliance requirements. Blue-Pencil’s deep understanding of local laws and regulations ensures your business stays compliant by managing the records process effectively.
Proximity for Better Service: With a team based in your area, Blue-Pencil can provide faster response times and more hands-on support compared to distant multinational providers.

This local expertise translates to smoother, hassle-free experiences for customers.

Used this service for the 1st time and was very impressed. I was able to get all of the information I needed from 1 phone call and booked the service with confidence that they would take care of the sensitive documents we needed shredded. They called ahead to advise they were 30 minutes out, arrived on time and completed the shredding quickly.
What a great service!!

I had a huge undertaking...properly dispose of 1500 boxes of client files from my elderly father's law practice in 4 seacontainers at dad's farm property. The folks at Blue Pencil SHredding made it painless and worked very fast (about 17 hours total) and the cost was reasonable compared to other companies that seemed to have alot of hidden fees - which scared me. The mobile shredder truck that went direct to the property was large and pretty cool to watch. The fact that the company is Canadian and local to me was an important consideration as well. The guys that actually did the tough shredding work were very professional. I highly recommend this company! Thank you!

If I had known how easy it was to have years (almost a decade) of files shredded, for a very reasonable price I would have done this ages ago.
Once again, we had Blue Pencil come save us from an accumulation of old unnecessary documents. I am so happy to have Blue Pencil as a resource to securely dispose of our important documents.

We engaged Blue-Pencil for a large on-site shredding project. We were extremely pleased with the service provided and the professionalism shown throughout the entire process. From the initial contact with Mackenzie, arranging the service to the onsite team that performed the work. Rohan and Ty, arrived on time and completed the work quickly and efficiently. They were both very polite and easy to work with. We will definitely be using Blue-Pencil for all of our future shredding needs.

David Rogers

13:43 27 Nov 24

Ty and Rohan came by our house this morning with their Blue-pencil shredding truck. They were very organized and professional and our 30 boxes were shredded in 15 minutes. Highly recommend Blue pencil for onsite residential shredding.

The two fellows were very polite and worked very efficient. They emptied the banker boxes into a bin. Each bin was counted as ten full boxes. This gave me the benefit of paying for only full boxes.

Blue Pencil as a company have been an excellent company to deal with for several reasons. 1. - I received a phone call within 2 minutes of requesting a quote. 2 - the quote was about 1/2 the cost of their biggest competitor (that we used last time.) 3. - the 2 gentlemen (Rohan and Ty) that came to our office to collect the documents, were extremely efficient, kind, helpful, hard working and went above and beyond by helping to breakdown and recycle our old bankers boxes. I can't say enough to articulate my satisfaction with this transaction. Thank you!

Ange M

11:24 18 Sep 24

We were so pleased with the service provided by Rohan and Ty. We had about 350 banker boxes to shred and they were professional and quick through the whole project. Thank you guys!! .. also pricing was by far the best we found with our research!

Patrick Scavone

18:31 24 Jul 24

Blue-Pencil was great! Their staff was respectful, gave clear communication and were very efficient. I was recommended other companies but did my own research and Blue-Pencil felt like the right choice and they definitely were! I recommend anyone to hire Blue-pencil for their paper shredding needs.

Kevin Summers

13:12 09 May 24

We were very happy with the experience. When we contacted Blue-Pencil Shredding for the initial contact/quote, we were called back in less than 30 minutes. They called ahead when enroute to our location. They showed up within the given appointment time window. The guys from the truck were good to deal with and got our small amount of file shredding done, 30 boxes, within a half an hour. They pulled up to our bay door where we had the boxes sitting for them and they took care of the rest. Really good experience and we would use them again, and recommend them to others.

Mary Morency

17:52 07 Jul 21

From the moment we called, Sherry took such good care of us. I can't say enough about not only about your staff, I believe it may have been Nick who was the tech on the shred day and the incredible Sherry, but your prices were amazing. My mom is a senior who is moving out after 40+ years and you took SUCH good care of her. I can't say enough about your company and the professionalism. Amazing you are!! Thank you so much.

Dr. Matthew Bortolussi

14:26 27 May 21

The sales staff was very responsive and informative to inquiries on pricing. The service staff who came to pick up the materials for shredding was very prompt and courteous, making no interruption to the business' daily activity. They quickly came in, picked up the materials and exited. The pricing for the service from beginning to end was very fair and reasonable. Blue-Pencil is highly recommended!

13:58 21 May 21

The speed , convenience and professionalism of the service was excellent is every phase of the operation. The technician was friendly, well dressed and conducted himself in a very professional manner. The only hiccup we encountered was discovering the bankers boxes were not going to be shredded and having to break them down for separate disposal. Knowing that we would have to deal with them ahead of time would have made the experience perfect.

Michael Korb

15:00 10 May 21

I would highly recommend your company for shredding services. I dealt with Sherry who responded to my calls and emails the same day. She explained the shredding process for residential customers and reassured confidentiality. Sherry was extremely professional throughout the whole process and for that I am grateful. The shredding techs were also very professional and thorough. I highly recommend your company.

20:49 06 May 21
