Home shredding services

This is Restore Datashred’s secure, compliant paper shredding service designed for remote workers or anyone who needs to dispose of confidential documents from home. We operate this on a by-need basis, that is, when your at-home storage is full, you contact us for a collection. This service ensures your sensitive information is shredded securely within 24 hours of collection, and we promptly provide a certificate of destruction for your records.

The workplace has been transformed over the past few years, with remote and hybrid working new norms. While the location of your colleagues may vary from day to day, maintaining compliant levels of data protection and confidential waste disposal do not. Our Home Shred service does what it says on the box: we enable you to shred from home, simply and easily, with the benefits for you and your business that that brings.

Yes, we operate our Home Shred service in the same way as all our other services, sending security-checked professional operatives to you in GPS-tracked vehicles which then transport your items to our nearest destruction centre. All boxes and sacks are barcoded and scanned on receipt so that an audit trail, and secure chain of custody, is set up and tracked throughout your data’s journey from your front door to our shredding blades. Home Shred is backed by the same internationally recognised accreditations as all our other shredding services.

The Home Shred service offers several packages starting at £49.99 (excluding VAT). Options include:

• Home Shred Collect: Includes five small boxes for £49.99 (excl. VAT).
• Home Shred Collect Plus: Includes two larger boxes for £49.99 (excl. VAT).
• Home Shred Large: Includes five sacks for £49.99 (excl. VAT)

No, our Home Shred service is strictly for paper-based items only. 1 For shredding of non-paper materials like hard drives, media, or other items, please explore the complete recycling section of our website to find the appropriate service.  

While removing staples and bulldog clips is helpful, Restore Datashred’s industrial shredders are designed to handle these small metal items. However, extremely large quantities of metal clips can potentially cause issues. Therefore, it’s generally not necessary to remove the occasional staple or paperclip. If you have any large amount of metal fasteners within the items to be shredded, it is advisable to remove these where possible.

All dates and times for collections will be agreed upon before any service takes place. We endeavour to contact all clients an hour before collection to ensure a prompt arrival. However, in the event of unforeseen circumstances that may cause a change beyond our control, our customer service team will promptly arrange an alternative date and time for your collection.

Yes, Restore Datashred offers on-site shredding services via mobile shredding vehicles, which can come directly to your home. This service allows you to witness the destruction of your sensitive documents or media at your doorstep, providing added security and peace of mind. Please be aware that due to location constraints or noise associated with our mobile shredding vehicles, we may need to accommodate your requirements through alternative means if access or a more controlled environment is necessary for service or collection.
