Yes. We are flexible to all sorts of requirements. We have some customers who require daily services and others who may only need a service every couple of months.

We also offer flexibility for customers such as schools, which need regular services but are closed over the summer.

Yes, you can. We can collect everything you need to destroy. However, certain materials must be kept separately from each other. This ensures we can recycle as much as possible after shredding takes place. Our sales team will talk you through the process. We typically recommend off-site destruction for multiple materials to achieve the best value for money.

Yes, we can provide services at all of your company's locations. We can also provide multi-site reporting, helping your business to analyse its waste output by site or for your organisation as a whole.

We perform our services in line with EN 15713 standards (the European Standard) rather than DIN 66399 (the German Standard). This is because EN 15713 covers all aspects of shredding service security, including shred size, whereas DIN only covers shred size. You can find more information about the differences between DIN 66399 and EN 15713 in our help guide.

We are happy to accommodate one-off, ad-hoc, and regular collections.

When it comes to confidential waste, trust is vital. We go above and beyond to ensure our service security is watertight. We are the largest independent shredding service provider in the world as a result of earning this trust, and our shredding services are approved for UK government use.

We are fully accredited and comply with all BS EN 15713 standards. These standards include security vetting all employees to BS7858 standards as a minimum, using CCTV and GPS-monitored vehicles, and operating from secure premises. We are also members of the BSIA and UKSSA - the UK's leading trade associations for the shredding industry. Our Commercial Director is also Chair of the BSIA's information destruction section, putting us at the forefront of all changes to UK shredding requirements.

The cost of your service can depend on a variety of factors. For instance:

• Do you want the service on-site at your premises, or off-site at a secure destruction centre?
• Is it just a one-off requirement you have, or do you need regular services?
• How many bags or boxes do you have for shredding?

All of these questions will help our sales team to find the best and most cost-effective option for your needs. You can submit a quote request by clicking the 'get a quote' button at the top of your screen.

We can collect your waste however often you want us to. Our regular services are available daily, multiple times per week, weekly, fornightly, monthly, or every two months. We can also provide services on a one-off or ad-hoc basis, where you simply contact us as and when you're ready for a service.

Once your quote is accepted, we can agree on a suitable date to perform the service. How soon we can come depends on our route availability in your area. Our average wait time is under a week. If you need an urgent service performed within 24 hours, this is something we can arrange, but additional charges may apply.

For larger contracts, we will create a bespoke mobilisation plan. This will include a timeline chart with key milestone dates.

We will ensure a smooth transition by working with your incumbent provider to confirm final shred dates. We will arrange regular calls with the incumbent supplier and your sites to confirm delivery dates and any site-specific information. We will also ensure your sites are not left without confidential waste containers. Temporary containers can be arranged if incumbent suppliers take their containers away unexpectedly or ahead of schedule.

All mobilisation projects receive Director-level leadership and will be orchestrated by an experienced Account Manager.

No. Shredding destroys your hard drives beyond recovery. Once your hard drive's platter is in lots of little pieces, it can't be put back together to retrieve information.
