If your business is preparing for secure document disposal in Edinburgh, use our checklist below to ensure your on-site shredding goes smoothly. We specialise in serving central Scotland with certified solutions to destroy confidential paper and media.
What to do Before we Arrive:
List all items to be shredded
Include paper files, invoices, personnel records, hard drives or other media. We handle both paper and media destruction.
Choose the right shredding standard
We operate to BS EN 15713 standards for destruction of confidential paper.
Decide on location and access
Ensure our vehicle can access your premises in Edinburgh, clear access route, parking, and space for the bins or collection units.
Prepare items for collection
Separate different media types, remove old staplers or non-shreddable items, use our supplied secure bags or locked containers if required.
Notify your team
Let staff know the day of shredding so they clear desks/files and don’t accidentally keep items that must stay.
Witness the process (optional)
On-site shredding gives you the peace of mind of seeing destruction in real time. We’ll issue a Certificate of Destruction once complete.
Post-shred check & documentation
Confirm all items listed have been shredded, receive your certificate and save it for audit or compliance.
Update your records
Mark the destroyed records in your retention schedule, and update policies to schedule regular destruction rather than ad-hoc.
Plan your next session
Whether quarterly, bi-annual or annual, set a reminder so you don’t accumulate large volumes of confidential waste.
Recycle responsibly
We ensure shredded material is recycled where possible, aligning with environmentally responsible disposal in central Scotland.
Recycle responsibly
