Scheduled Shredding Service Process
We arrange a schedule for the collection of your waste. During your timetabled collection, our fully trained operatives confidentially transfer the waste to our high-security MOD-approved shredding vehicles, then weigh it.
The destruction process is witnessed by an appropriate person from your company and carried out by our specially trained operatives.
We issue a certificate of destruction showing the weight and details of the collection. This is a minimum requirement for anyone disposing of confidential waste.
The shredded waste is then compacted into the rear compartment of the vehicle, locked and transported to our shredding depot in Glasgow or Nottingham, where it will be baled and collected for recycling.
All carried out as per BS EN 15713 or equivalent.
Should you choose to carry out your scheduled shredding at one of our depots instead, we follow a separate procedure to ensure GDPR compliance
