You can order a la carte from Spud but it&#8217;s prohibitively expensive. If you know of a source for the large mixed fruit bins, please let me know.</p>

<p>Sharing some of our steps taken when closing a file.

<p>I&#8217;m afraid I can&#8217;t share our policy, but my advice is to keep it as simple as possible &#8211; you don&#8217;t need much to start overhauling your procedures and stop sending everything to offsite. You mostly want to get people to move away from thinking that paper = original and to manage their matters electronically from the start, this makes&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-33287"><a href="https://bclma.org/groups/facilities-services-management-subsection/forum/topic/file-storage-and-destruction-policy/#post-75997" rel="nofollow ugc">Read more</a></span></p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>We are currently trying to revamp our file storage policy and procedures, with a view to sending less offsite for storage and giving Iron Mountain less money. If anyone has a closed file policy that focuses on digitization of files you would be willing to share, I would be grateful for a starting point. </p>
<p>Thanks!<br />
Jennifer</p>

<p>We just had ours serviced and, as it was at the end of its lifecycle, just purchased a new drill press from Sydney Stone in Vancouver. <a href="https://www.printfinishing.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.printfinishing.com/</a><br />
They were really excellent for both the servicing and the sales process. Hope that helps!</p>
