Shredding FAQs

In short, yes. Paper is recycled following the data destruction process (shredding). The material is sent off to our dedicated paper mills where it’s recycled back into paper-based products i.e. office copier paper.

Yes. We have created three other services to offer a total confidential data destruction package for you. Our service portfolio covers paper, hard-drives and media materials, branded products and on-demand clearances from document storage and scanning companies.

Paper that is stained with food, paint or dirt, as well as tissues, wet wipes, foil-based gift wrap and brown paper are not recyclable. These impact on the quality and contamination levels of the paper fibres within the material. As a result, these would follow a waste-to-energy disposal route – regaining resource value through energy recovery and diverting away from landfill.

We offer a wealth of services that include regularly scheduled or on-demand paper shredding, hard drive and media destruction and speciality shredding. Each service serves the purpose of assisting your business in safely disposing of unwanted or outdated confidential information. Costings are variable based on the volume of confidential information your business stores. Therefore, you’ll need to contact us for a bespoke quote, then we’ll help you choose when and where you want your chosen service. All services come with a ‘Certificate of Destruction’ for your assurance.

Either on-site at your premises or off-site back at our high-security shredding facility. This is very much dependent on your service preference and guidance from our free consultancy service.

Certified destruction and recycling gives assurance to staff and customers and builds company CSR. Producers of confidential waste should ensure they are giving their sensitive documentation and materials to a data processer (data destruction provider) authorised to handle and dispose of your confidential information.

Not at all. You don’t have to worry about removing paper clips, staples or binder clips. Our cross-cut shredding technology based machinery can handle that.

Under the General Data Protection Regulations 2018 the legal requirements states personal data shall be kept for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is being processed. Once they are redundant, ensure they are disposed into one of our secure lockable console or bins.

In short, yes. We provide collections for residential customers across our service area. In addition, we will be happy to receive and destroy confidential documents delivered in.
