They are used by public and private sector clients alike. A highly secure shredding service, where the automation of collection and destruction systems are in place to make sure that you and your clients are kept totally safe. In many cases Homeworkers and Domestic Clients also us our Paper Shredding Services
We work to the ISO9001 Quality Management System and BS/EN15713 European Shredding Standard to ensure get it right the first time, every time. This is vital when you need to guarantee GDPR Compliance in your business
COLLECTION & CUSTODY: HOW YOU STORE AND OUR COLLECTIONS
We supply secure cabinets, lockable bins, secure sacks or skips for secure document shredding, whichever best suits your needs. Our secure cabinets come in a variety of sizes and corporate or wood colours. Our sacks are heavy duty polypropylene sacks. Regular customers will receive weekly, 2 weekly or 4 weekly visits from our fully vetted and trained operative. They use a secure method of collection, always ensuring safe custody of your materials on the way out of your building and into our GPS tracked vehicles.
TIP: Don't let a shredding company push you into utilising a system just because that is the only one they use. We offer everything from a cabinet to a 32yd secure RORO Skip, whichever is safest and is right for your company's operations.
DESTRUCTION & TRANSPORT: HOW WE TRANSPORT AND SHRED THE MATERIALS
Using our methods and sites in compliance with the European Shredding standard EN15713, your materials are kept in our operative's secure custody as they are transported to the secure, GPRS tracked vehicle. If they are not shredded Onsite, they are transported immediately on the vehicle back to the high security of the BS/EN15713 accredited depots, where they are emptied out, ready for immediate secure shredding by a static industrial paper shredder capable of processing up to 8 tonnes per hour rendering your materials completely safe.
TIP: Sometimes a document shredding company will tell you the only way to shred is Onsite WE OFFER BOTH, so we will be able to advise you in a professional and balanced way, which is the best method for you to use. From a security perspective and from a cost perspective.
RECYCLING: WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MATERIALS AFTER SHREDDING
At the BS/EN15713 and ISO9001 accredited site, your materials are now securely destroyed and completely harmless. Following the secure shredding the materials are fed into a large "Mill Sized" baler, churning out bales that weigh between 400kg and 500kg. Once there is enough to fit on an articulated lorry, the materials are taken to a paper mill, usually in the United Kingdom, where they are turned into paper towels and similar products.
TIP: If you do use an office shredder, you cannot recycle the shredded paper afterwards. paper recycling requires there to be a strand of fibre long enough to reconstitute with other strands and office shredders take the paper down so small it is good for nothing but landfill or to be burnt as Energy For Waste.
HARD DRIVE SHREDDING: SECURE DESTRUCTION OF NON PAPER MATERIALS
Not only do we perform Paper Shredding, we also do Hard Drive Destruction, Media Shredding (CD/DVDs. Tapes etc), Uniform Shredding and Product Destruction. Again, all these are destroyed at the BS/EN15713 and ISO9001 accredited site, and either recycled or run into an Energy From Waste (EFW) site, where heat and electricity are recovered from them.
TIP: It may seem like driving a spike through a Hard Drive is destroying it or bashing it with a hammer. However, even when this is done, data can be forensically recovered from a drive - even if just the central index ring is remaining. It is far better to destroy a Hard Drive completely, than risk the information being recovered by those wishing to to use it for nefarious means.
