What our customers say about We Shred It.

Our reputation is built on the trust our clients place in us every day. From small businesses to large enterprises, schools to healthcare providers, organisations across the UK rely on We Shred It for secure, reliable document destruction.

We looked at a number of home shredding services so we could de-clutter safely, years of accumulated paper. Glad we chose "We Shred It". Excellent service from the company and Anna was particularly helpful. Collection was prompt and friendly and the destruction certificate arrived timely. I would have no hesitation in recommending this well priced service.

Michael Follis

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does your shredding service work?

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 sacks, on a rota that fits your volume

We collect across the UK, with local teams in the Midlands, Worcestershire, Cheshire and Staffordshire and coverage extending nationwide through our collection network. 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. 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. We’ll tell you straight if something can’t go in.

No. One-off clearances are welcome. Most businesses move to scheduled collections because the per-visit cost drops, but there’s no lock-in to start.

It’s baled and sent for recycling — nothing goes to landfill. Secure destruction and sustainability aren’t in conflict; the standard we shred to covers both.

Usually within a few working days anywhere on the network, faster in our home areas. 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.

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.
