Shredding Services Scotland

What is a shredding service?

Shredding helps to destroy and discard confidential papers and information that is no longer needed. As a company that offers shredding services in Scotland, Restore Datashred are experts in seeing the whole shredding process through. Our shredding services involve gathering the paper that companies want to shred, having the papers passed through a shredding machine which finely cuts up the papers, and recycling the shredded paper for a more considered environmental impact. Through all of this, our shredding services are safe, secure, and operated by experts who are fully trained. It can be difficult to find reliable methods of disposal for sensitive documents, and so a company that offers its shredding services in Scotland can be just what some people are looking for.

Who needs to use shredding services?

Many modern businesses have an extensive paper trail. Due to the nature and operating methods of some businesses, there’s little that can be done to avoid this.

However, shredding services may be required for all different kinds of businesses. That’s why Restore Datashred are pleased that we can help those in a number of different industries.

Hard Drive Shredding Scotland

How do I ensure I dispose of my hard drives correctly?

A very effective way of disposing of hard drives is having Restore Datashred physically shred them. 

Here is a step-by-step guide of our hard drive shredding service:

  • Call one of our professional team to discuss how we can assist with your hard drive destruction. 
  • Restore Datashred now have a number of mobile shredding vehicles with hard drive shredders on-board, allowing us to offer a national service for hard drive shredding.
  • Our fleet of mobile shredders can process up to 20 hard drives per minute, ensuring your data is permanently destroyed. 
  • In order for a hard drive to be destroyed, it must be removed from either the PC or server in which it is housed and any additional protective casing. 
  • All hard drives will be destroyed onsite in one of our state-of-the-art mobile shredding vehicles. 
  • Secure Collection Operatives also have the ability to produce a collection report containing the serial numbers scanned from the hard drives. 
  • Once destroyed, the material will be brought back to a Datashred depot and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

Can I destroy my own hard drives?

Many businesses don’t have a hard-drive destruction policy. Some will perform their own DIY destruction by venting their frustration on their hard drives with a hammer! This might help them feel better and it might even work theoretically to destroy it enough, but there’s no guarantee. Alternatively, stockpiling hard drives increases the risk of others being able to access the confidential data they hold. Even if hard drives are stored in a locked area, if the information is still intact there’s a chance that it could be accessed. That's why you should use a fully accredited shredding company to ensure your hard disk shredding in carried out securely and compliantly.
