Our Off-site Shredding Process
Collection
We arrange an ad-hoc collection or a schedule for regular collections.
Your waste is securely transported
Our fully trained operatives scan the barcodes on each receptacle, providing an audit trail that continues until the final invoice. They transfer the waste to our custom-built vehicle, where it’s securely locked in the rear.
Your waste is securely shredded
Confidential waste is transported to one of our state-of-the-art shredding depots in Glasgow or Nottingham and is shredded within 24 hours. Our cross-cut shredding technology can shred over 320 tonnes per day. Once all materials have been destroyed, we issue a certificate of destruction. This is a minimum requirement for anyone disposing of confidential waste and should be held on file for six years.
Your waste is recycled
The shredded waste is baled and collected for recycling, reinforcing our commitment to protecting the environment.
All carried out as per BS EN 15713 or equivalent.
We securely destroy the following items
Hard drives

Off-site Shredding and Compliance
Our off-site shredding is fully compliant with the BS EN15713 Secure Destruction of Confidential Material, the standard specified by the BSIA (British Security Industry Association). This covers security levels, vetting of employees (to BS 7858), customer contracts, and recycling. This helps to deliver confidence as all paper is cross-cut shredded to an unidentifiable end product, and that each service must have a full audit trail, conform to the Environmental Agency and government legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Lockable Consoles, Bins and Confidential Sacks
We offer a range of lockable bins, secure data consoles, paper waste bins, roll-on roll-off skip container hire and confidential sacks for you to store paper waste in, ready for on-site destruction.
