Frequently asked Questions

What is the difference between on-site and off-site shredding services?
On site shredding services involve the destruction of documents at your location. This approach offers immediate assurance that your data is being securely shredded right where you are. In contrast, off-site shredding services involve collecting your documents and transporting them to a secure facility where they are shredded. Both methods are secure, but on-site shredding provides the added benefit of witnessing the destruction process and eliminating the need for transporting sensitive materials.
How secure is your shredding service?
Our shredding service adheres to rigorous standards set by the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) and is fully compliant with Data Protection and GDPR laws. This ensures that our commercial shredding services meet the highest levels of security and privacy, guaranteeing that all sensitive information is handled according to strict legal and regulatory requirements.
Are your drivers vetted and uniformed?
Yes, they are. All our drivers and operators have been thoroughly vetted to BS7858 standards and have undergone DBS Enhanced (Disclosure and Barring Service) clearance. This rigorous vetting process ensures that our team for commercial shredding services is fully qualified and trustworthy, providing you with peace of mind that your sensitive information is in safe hands.
