I use we shred it for all my companies paperwork. I can’t recommend them enough. They are very efficient and have given me one less thing to worry about with their fantastic service and very friendly staff.
Matthew Dickinson
I was really impressed by the ease of ordering and paying for the paper sacks. Then equally impressed with the simplicity of ringing up and ordering a pick up that was only two days after my call. The guy who picked up the sacks was helpful, polite and efficient. Would definitely recommend the service and use them again.
Gloria Smith
Really pleased with the service offered. The bags were delivered quickly, and held a surprising amount of paperwork! Communication was excellent, and when we requested final collection, it was on the day and shredding completed the day after with a final certificate. The driver was helpful, and polite. Now I know that you cover domestic collections.

Professional document shredding services for homes and businesses
Two ways. Homes and small offices order secure shredding bags online — we deliver them, you fill them, we collect and destroy, and your certificate of destruction follows by email. Businesses with regular confidential waste get scheduled collections with lockable consoles or bags, on a rota that fits your volume. More about our business shredding services.
We collect across the UK from our bases in Martley (Worcestershire), Burton upon Trent and Solihull. Enter your postcode at checkout or call 0800 999 1002 to confirm your area.
Home shredding bags start from £66.00 including delivery and collection. See all our document shredding prices. Business pricing depends on volume and frequency — one-off clearances get a fixed quote, scheduled contracts cost less per visit. No sales visits, no obligation.
Yes. Shredding is carried out in accordance with BS EN 15713, we’re a licensed Upper Tier waste carrier, and every job produces a certificate of destruction — your documented proof of compliant disposal (see the ICO’s guidance for organisations).
Any paperwork, staples and clips included, plus hard drives, USB sticks and digital media destroyed beyond recovery. Hard drives and media are priced separately, so please contact us for a price. Old computers and monitors can go too: computer and IT disposal. We’ll tell you straight if something can’t go in.
Not for one-off clearances. Scheduled collections with consoles or bins run on a 12-month agreement, and if you’re ever unhappy with our service, you can leave.
All shredded paper is recycled at UK paper mills, so nothing goes to landfill.
Usually within a few working days, and sooner near our bases. Urgent? Call 0800 999 1002 and we’ll give you an honest answer, not a script.
Yes. Hard drives, laptops, USB sticks, tapes and other media are physically destroyed so data can never be recovered — wiping or formatting isn’t certain, destruction is. Media destruction can be added to any paper collection or booked on its own. It’s priced separately from paper, so please contact us for a price.
Yes. Collections are carried out by our own vetted, uniformed team — never subcontracted — and every collection follows a documented chain of custody from your door to destruction. It’s your data; we treat the journey as seriously as the shredding.
