Protect your Personal Information with Confidential Document Shredding
Despite the rise in online services, most homes still accumulate sensitive paperwork containing personal information. Your bank statements, bills, payslips and work documents can quickly stack up and clutter your living space. If you do not destroy these papers properly, you risk exposing your private details, potentially leading to identity theft, fraud and severe financial consequences.
At Printwaste, we are here to help. We understand how important your privacy is to you. We offer secure, professional shredding services for all your confidential documents, giving you complete peace of mind.
Our industrial shredding equipment thoroughly destroys your paperwork beyond recovery, meeting the same high-security standards we use for business customers. Every batch we process is tracked and documented, and you will receive confirmation of destruction for your records. And all the paper we shred is recycled through approved partners, helping to protect both your privacy and the environment.

Customer testimonial
Frequently asked questions
Do you have a minimum collection size?
Yes, you need to fill at least one sack with your confidential paperwork. We can handle any amount above that.
How much does a sack hold?
Our sacks hold between 15kg and 20kg of confidential documents.
What can I put in the confidential sacks?
You can fill our sacks with any paperwork or documents containing sensitive information. We can also recycle old hard drives, CDs, USB sticks and other technology items. Just tell us what you need when you request a quote, and put each type of material in a separate sack before collection.
During the audit, we’ll review how much cardboard – and other waste streams – your business generates, assess your storage needs and identify opportunities for improvement. We will then provide a full report with specific recommendations tailored to your business needs.
Do I need to remove any staples or paperclips, etc?
No. Our cross-cut shredding machines can handle a few paper clips and staples, so leave this to us.
How long will it take for my sacks to be delivered to me?
We will aim to deliver your sacks as soon as possible once you have placed your order, but please allow a few days for delivery when we are in your area. This helps us plan our vehicle routes most efficiently and do our bit for the environment.
Do I need to be home when you deliver the sacks?
No. We can deliver the sacks when you are not there, if you let us know where to leave them.
Do I need to be home when you collect my confidential documents?
Yes. As your documents contain sensitive information, you should not leave them unattended, even in our sealable sacks. So, we do need you to be at home when we come to collect them.
Can I drop off the sacks at your site instead?
Yes. We offer a drop-in service between 8.30am and 4.30pm, Monday to Friday, at our Commerce House site in Cheltenham. You will need to pay on arrival, so feel free to ring ahead to check pricing and procedures.
Why should I use your service instead of buying a home shredder?
Home shredders offer a less secure cut and cannot compete with the industrial-sized machinery we use. They are also more time-consuming to use, as you have to feed the papers into the shredder manually. We can take large quantities of documents off your hands in one go and destroy them quickly for you.
And buying and maintaining a decent home shredder (think of all those paper jams) can end up being more expensive than using our shredding service, where you just pay for what you need.
