How Our Home Shredding Service Can Benefit Your Business

The same security, the same communications, the same efficiency as at your office – at home.

Remote, or home, working became entrenched during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, strong arming many businesses into swiftly re-thinking not only communications, IT assets, systems and processes, but also worrying about productivity, presenteeism and privacy.

When colleagues were working out of sight, often in shared kitchens, bedrooms, and so on, did compliance with data protection regulations fall by the wayside?

Initially, in the scramble to keep going, it was easy to ignore instigating protocols surrounding access to online information, and whether data on paper or digital storage media was being disposed of to the level of protection required by the law.

That’s where Restore Datashred’s home shredding service – which, unsurprisingly, we called Home Shred – stepped up to the plate.

 

We quickly realised that providing easy-to-use desktop and standalone shredding boxes, as well as larger sealable paper sacks would help many organisations succeed. Not only with plugging all vulnerabilities in the chain of data custody, but also with meeting sustainability commitments through our 100% paper recycling guarantee. All our Home Shred secure waste stream products are easy to use, and simple to feed, container and all, on to the shredding blades and then on into recycling.

Did you know?

Additionally, we don’t just shred paper; we can reduce digital media and textiles to re-purposable shreds, too.

Restore Datashred home shredding is ideal for…

–> Regular collections that link in with your business office data protection systems and processes.

–> The occasional home office – or just home – clear-out. Children moving on to their next life stage, moving house or ‘right-sizing’ are ideal times to muck out paperwork and bedrooms and provide fodder for the hungry recycling industry!

The benefits of home shredding are…

The same benefits that you enjoy in the office apply to home shredding with Restore Datashred

  • Reliability
  • Security
  • Compliance

Reliability

Our customer services team and account managers offer the same knowledgeable service you can rely on, backed by the same levels of security and care for your reputation and sustainability, as our office services. You can shred the same materials, too: paper, digital media and textiles.

Control

Security

Protecting your data, from collection to shredding blade, is the lynchpin of our business, so your home shredding service offers the same DBS-checked collections operatives, GPS-tracked vehicles and passworded entry into CCTV-monitored destruction centres as all our services. You can expect an identical 24-hour turnaround, with a certificate of destruction supplied for your records at the end of the process, too.

Compliance

Our data security and environmental commitments hold whether you shred from the office or from home. GDPR and the WEEE Directive are key for all businesses to comply with and our raft of accreditations, memberships and licences, ranging from ISO 9001, 14001, 27001 and 45001 to Cyber Essentials Plus, the BSIA and the Environment Agency, provide important back-up for our claims. All the materials we shred – paper, cardboard, digital media and textiles – are sent to our trusted recycling and repurposing partners to be given a second life. Something to add to your own business credentials…

Results

And, as a bonus…


There’s no more fishing out information from an untidy stack of papers that may or may not be kept in your workspace or worrying that someone – was it the kids? – have used your annual report notes as scrap paper. By setting up a professional home shredding collection service, you increase your efficiency and achieve peace of mind. All good.
