How our shredding and document destruction services work
Consultation and delivery:
Once our customer service team have worked with you to understand your needs, we will deliver a lockable shredding bin at a pre-agreed time. You can then fill this with any records or confidential materials you would like to have destroyed.
Collection and shredding:
One of our accredited Secure Collection Operatives (SCOs) will arrive at a convenient date and time to unlock your shredding bin. They will then take the bin to our mobile shredding vehicle where its contents will be safely destroyed either on-site or at one of our dedicated waste disposal centres.
Disposal and documentation:
Your materials will be recycled into new products so nothing goes to landfill. To maintain a clear audit trail, all of our clients receive a waste transfer note and certificate of destruction. This serves as proof that your documents and materials have been destroyed in full compliance with relevant regulations.
Disposing of confidential documents and records
Our commercial shredding services revolve around the secure handling, storage and destruction of sensitive information. Clients can trust us to keep information from falling into the wrong hands, which is integral to a company's integrity, reputation and prosperity in an increasingly competitive business environment.
Document destruction of the highest possible standards
Our wide range of accreditations, which include ISO 9001, 1S0 14001 and Cyber Essentials certification, reflects our status as a market-leading commercial shredding company.
