Confidential Waste

How Our Confidential Waste Destruction Works

Our shredding process is designed to keep information protected from collection to destruction.

1) Collection From Your Site

We collect confidential waste as:

• A one-off collection for clear-outs
• A scheduled service for ongoing disposal
• Part of a wider office clearance job

2) Secure Off-Site Shredding

All paperwork is destroyed using a DIN Level 4 security shredder at our depot. DIN Level 4 is classed as high security, producing cross cut particles of at least 2 x 15mm. This level is commonly recommended for sensitive documents where unauthorised access could create serious risk.

3) Recycling After Destruction

Once shredded, the paper is sent to be pulped and recycled. Over time, it’s processed into new paper and cardboard products for re-use.

What We Can Destroy

Our document destruction and shredding service is built for businesses that handle private paperwork every day. That includes personnel files, bank information, medical records, customer details, and any other confidential data that needs secure disposal. We can collect as part of an office clearance, or arrange a one-off confidential waste collection when you have a backlog to get rid of.

Examples of confidential material we can shred and destroy include:

• Personnel and HR records
• Bank statements and financial paperwork
• Medical documents and sensitive health information
• Client files and customer records
• Contracts, invoices, and internal reports
• Printed emails and business correspondence

If you’re unsure if something counts as confidential waste, tell us what you have and we’ll advise.
