Media destruction
Shred Station offers specialist digital media destruction services to guarantee your unwanted devices and data are irrecoverable.
Digital media destruction for any media devices
Professional, secure destruction
Our fully accredited services are performed by our BS 7858 security-vetted professionals in line with information security regulations. We are annually audited against BS EN 15713 security standards.
Flexible options
We can provide media shredding services on a one-off basis, as a regular service, as an ad-hoc service whenever you need it, or as a one-time add-on to another service. Whatever your requirements, we’re flexible to your needs.
We can destroy almost anything
Whatever your digital media destruction requirements, we can help. We can destroy any media materials you need to destroy, helping you to keep information safe and comply with GDPR.
Carbon neutral
We use separate waste streams for non-paper materials. This allows us to recycle as much as possible, with zero to landfill. We are also a CarbonNeutral® certified company. We reduce emissions wherever possible and use responsible offsets.
All media materials destroyed in one collection
Whether you’re considering CD shredding, DVD shredding, tape destruction, or a combination of all three and more, we can assist. All we ask is that you keep similar materials separated so we can recycle as much of your confidential media as possible. To ensure maximum recycling, we recommend using an off-site service for media destruction. However, we can also facilitate on-site media and data destruction.
We can also provide confidential waste cabinets or bins specifically for confidential media. This can help to ensure the safe storage of materials, even before destruction.
Specialist destruction of negatives, film, photographs, tape, and microfiche
With our media destruction services, you can have any film or tape-based materials destroyed easily. Whether you need a secure way to destroy old microfiche archives or want to get rid of negatives or old memory cards, we have a service that will suit you.Â
Our specialist media destruction services are also ideal if you have multiple different types of products to destroy. For example, we often work with film and television production studios to destroy old film reels with our media shredding service, props with our product destruction services and scripts with our paper shredding services. Best of all, we can facilitate all of the services you require in one collection, giving you the best value for money.
Extremely fast destruction of CDs, DVDs, and other media
We use powerful, specialist media shredders to destroy all kinds of data held on items such as CDs, DVDs, floppy disks, tapes, and more. Our industrial shredders can handle bulk volumes, making quick work of your destruction requirements. To give you an idea of how quickly our industrial shredders operate, we can easily destroy thousands of CDs or DVDs in minutes.
Rated 'Exceptional' on Feefo
"We were surprised how easy it was. Shred Station offered a competitive price compared to other companies. On the day of the service, we received an email with a tracking link to see which stop number we were and what stop number the driver was currently on. Once the drivers arrived, they were very friendly and helpful, which meant the on-site shredding process was completed quickly with minimal hassle. We then received the certificate through by email within a matter of minutes of them leaving."
