What the law expects

Under UK GDPR, organisations must keep personal data secure, including when they throw it away. Putting paperwork in general waste or recycling is a common way data leaks. The ICO guidance for organisations explains your duties; a certificate of destruction gives you the record to show you met them.

Paper shredding for Leicester homes

Clearing a loft in Oadby, sorting a parent’s paperwork in Loughborough or emptying a filing cabinet in Hinckley? Home shredding has a fixed price, so there’s no quote. Pick a pack, order before 12 noon for same-day posting, fill the bags at your own pace, then book one collection. Each bag is 480 × 820 × 140 mm and holds up to 15kg; staples and paperclips can stay in.

What Our Customers Say

Rated 4.9 from over 100 Google reviews. Every collection is carried out by our own vetted team.

An excellent and easy way to safely get rid of all those old bills, bank statements and other confidential documents especially to prevent identity theft. Efficient process, they send you bags, you fill them, they take them away for secure destruction. And it’s surprising how much paper you can get in a bag! Prompt and friendly service and not at all expensive. Highly recommended.

Richard Mojel

An excellent service. Value for money, convenient and effective. The empty bags arrived swiftly in the post. The collection date was agreed to meet my schedule. The collection date was honoured.

Denise Thompson

WeShredit customer service was exemplary. They were helpful, supportive, and efficient. They made what was a daunting personal experience very easy. I would be pleased to recommend them without reservation
