Off-site services are a highly cost-effective option for confidential waste disposal. Talk to our sales team for a quick quote.

Lightning fast

Each of our depot shredders can shred 100+ tonnes of paper every day. Imagine how long this would take with a small office shredder!

Convenient

You don’t need to remove paper clips, staples, plastic wallets, or folders. Our depot shredders make light work of these items.

Environmentally friendly

We operate with a Zero to Landfill policy, recycle 100% of paper at UK mills, and are carbon-neutral certified.

Secure and compliant off-site shredding

Shred Station’s fully accredited off-site shredding service is secure, fast, and cost-effective. All services are performed in line with EN 15713 security shredding standards and comply with the principles of the GDPR Article 5 surrounding the processing and erasure of personal data. We provide a full audit trail by providing a Waste Transfer Note and Certificate of Destruction after every service, demonstrating your chain of custody.

In transit, we keep materials secure by:

Securing all materials collected into locked bins on board
Using specialist off-site vehicles with minimal branding
Having 360 four-camera CCTV systems installed in every truck
Using GPS and telematics tracking.

Our premises are also fully secure, with 24hr CCTV, robust perimeter security, minimal signage, and strict access controls allowing authorised personnel only.

For our regular commercial customers, off-site shredding services can operate almost entirely in the background. We’ll turn up as per our pre-agreed schedule, and you’ll receive your waste transfer and proof of destruction documents via email. We can also set you up on our online portal to make your historic documentation easy to find when you have audits. This simplifies your business processes for facilities management surrounding confidential waste, taking the stress of confidential waste management away from your teams.

For one-time domestic and commercial customers, off-site shredding is one of the most cost-effective ways to securely destroy your confidential materials. From home document clear-outs to office archive purges, we can assist.

Off-site vs on-site paper shredding

Of the two options, off-site paper shredding offers the best value for money. If you have a very large volume to destroy (e.g. an articulated lorry’s worth), off-site shredding is also the most efficient choice.

On-site mobile shredding services are slightly more expensive, but are ideal for customers who want to witness the shredding take place. With our on-site service, we shred your materials on board our specialist shredding vehicle. This rapid service means your documents are destroyed immediately, and you’ll receive your Waste Transfer Note and Certificate of Destruction straight away. Our on-site shredding vehicles can easily destroy around 160 boxes of paper per hour, whereas our off-site depot shredders can destroy around 100 tonnes per day.

Both services are totally secure and are available on a one-off or regular basis.

Frequently asked questions

Please see below some of our frequently asked questions. If you still have questions, please feel free to visit our FAQs page or give us a call.

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

EN 15713 standards require all materials to be destroyed within 24 hours of arrival at destruction facilities. At Shred Station, we will destroy all material as soon as it arrives back at our depots, surpassing the requirements of the standard.

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.

There is no minimum volume we’ll collect, but we do have a minimum charge in place that covers you up to 10 bags or boxes of paperwork.

No, however, we can shred these items separately. Please contact our sales team for a quotation and instructions on preparing your materials for collection.
