Customers can bring a maximum of 20 bags of paper or five hard drives to one of the participating locations listed below.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is National Shred Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>National Shred Day is a timely reminder that confidential information needs to be managed securely throughout its lifecycle. Paper records, archived files and old hard drives can continue to contain personal, financial or commercially sensitive information after they are no longer needed.<\/p>\n<p>The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) highlights the importance of using quality information destruction suppliers and secure destruction processes. You can learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsia.co.uk\/information-destruction\/\">BSIA Information Destruction section<\/a>, or view the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsia.co.uk\/id-members\/\">Restore Datashred listing on the BSIA website.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>How to take part<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit one of the five participating Restore Datashred depots on Friday 2 October 2026.<\/li>\n<li>Bring up to 20 bags of paper or a maximum of five hard drives for secure destruction.<\/li>\n<li>Remember that this is a drop-off-only offer. Restore Datashred collections are not available as part of National Shred Day.<\/li>\n<li>The free offer is for new and prospective customers only. Existing contracted customers should continue to use their normal paid service.<\/li>\n<li>Hard drives are subject to the participating depot&#8217;s safety and acceptance controls. Do not bring damaged, unsafe or contaminated items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Participating Restore Datashred depots<\/h3>\n<p>Only the five locations below are taking part in the free drop-off service.

A controlled destruction process helps organisations dispose of information responsibly and gives teams a clear route for clearing material that is no longer required.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are clearing archived paperwork, reviewing old records or preparing redundant equipment for disposal, secure destruction should form part of your information management process.<\/p>\n<h2>Have a larger requirement<\/h2>\n<p>The National Shred Day offer is limited to the published quantities and drop-off arrangement. If you need a collection, have more than the limits above or want to discuss regular secure shredding, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restore.co.uk\/datashred\/contact-us\/get-in-touch\/\">contact Restore Datashred<\/a> for a free, no-obligation quote.
