Aspire Beyond's goal is to help each individual learn how
to function in the community with as much independence as possible.
This is achieved by providing a stimulating and challenging
environment.

develop positive life and work skills. Safe and
socially acceptable behavior is emphasized at all times.

Document destruction at AB Document Destruction.
Sorting & shredding of confidential
documents.

Operating as AB Document Destruction, Aspire
Beyond performs paper shredding and document destruction for
businesses and individuals.
All shredding is done at our site in Wheat
Ridge due to the fact that most of our workers are
mentally and physically disabled.

Wages (Jan ’08) are based on a prevailing wage of $12/hour
for piece work (under a Commensurate Wage Certificate) in the
document destruction area. Hourly positions enjoy a starting wage
of $7.02 per hour.
Our shredding area is not open to the public and is
monitored by our security system at all times. As we
operate under NAID security guidelines, workers must undergo
criminal background and credit inquiries. Consent to random drug
testing may also be required as a condition of employment.
