Keep your documents confidential through secure shredding

In the UK and around the world, governments and regulators work to develop legislation aimed at protecting consumers and businesses from fraud. But prevention is always better than cure. Shred-it’s confidential waste shredding services are specifically designed to comply with and complement the specified confidentiality requirements and regulatory standards in every area that we conduct business. This is more than just good business sense – it’s a legal requirement.

Proven Confidential Shredding Credentials

When it comes to confidential waste shredding and disposal, we understand that security is your number one priority.

For over 20 years, Shred-it has been helping its customers ensure their confidential information remains confidential. Today, with more than 140 branches servicing in excess of 150,000 customers across five continents, Shred-it is the world’s leading on site document shredding company.

Security Guaranteed from Start to Finish

All new Shred-it customers are provided with locked security consoles to safely store their confidential waste before it is securely shredded. The moment you deposit confidential materials into your office’s locked Shred-it console, you can rest assured that they are safe and secure. This end-to-end chain of security then remains unbroken until your confidential waste is destroyed.

At your convenience, a privately insured, Criminal Record Bureau certified Shred-it Customer Service Representative will unlock your console and transport all confidential materials in a sealed security bag to a Shred-it truck outside your office, where it will be destroyed securely.

Once your confidential materials have been shredded, you will be provided with a Certificate of Destruction to confirm the exact date and time of destruction, thereby guaranteeing the safe disposal of your now shredded confidential waste.
