As one of the UK’s leading document shredding companies, we offer a range of confidential paper shredding and waste disposal services. Our industrial shredders also destroy media formats, products, uniforms, x-rays and IT equipment.

If your business handles personal or sensitive data, you have a responsibility to keep it safe from identity theft and data breaches. That means following strict protocols for destroying confidential information and shredding documents with sensitive data.

Our Shredding Service:

We arrange an ad-hoc collection or a schedule for regular collections. Our fully trained operatives confidentially transfer the waste to our high-security MOD-approved shredding vehicles, then weigh it.

If you opt for on-site shredding, the destruction process is witnessed by an appropriate person from your company and carried out by our specially trained operatives. If you opt for off-site shredding, the confidential waste is transported to one of our state-of-the-art depots and is shredded within 24 hours.

We issue a certificate of destruction showing the weight and details of the collection. This is a minimum requirement for anyone disposing of confidential waste.

The shredded waste is then compacted into the rear compartment of the vehicle, locked and transported to our shredding depot in Glasgow or Nottingham, where it will be baled and collected for recycling.

All of the above is carried out as per BS EN 15713 or equivalent.
