Frequently Asked Questions.

Have a question about our secure, regular shredding service? Check out our FAQs below for answers to some common queries.

What frequency of service do you offer?

We offer a variety of shredding frequencies to suit your needs. Our most common options are weekly, every four weeks, and every eight weeks. Our team can help you choose the best frequency for your business.

When do you collect in my area?

Our collection schedule is based on postcode area. For example, we service postcodes ST1-12 weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays. Collections take place between 8 am and 4 pm on your collection date, so please let us know of any access restrictions when you book your service.

Can I reschedule my regular collection?

If you are signed up to the regularly scheduled service, this will be carried out on the agreed frequency on a specified day, and the service is designed to reduce the burden of booking, amending or re-booking collections. Our team can look to vary the regularity or number of containers if your current arrangements aren’t suitable, or we can arrange an additional collection in between your schedule if you have a one-off clear out of confidential waste. Our off-schedule collections would incur an extra charge.

What if my container is full before the scheduled collection?

If your container fills up more quickly than anticipated, please give us a call as we can schedule extra collections. It may be that if your business is growing, the amount of confidential information you are producing is increasing. In which case, we will be happy to discuss supplying you with additional containers or increasing the regularity of your shredding collections.

What types of shredding containers do you provide?

For a fully compliant service, we believe that lockable containers are best placed to reduce the risks to your data whilst it is at your premises. We supply:

Lockable shredding consoles in a variety of finishes, with white, grey, black, beech and maple being our most popular options
Lockable 240 or 660 litre wheelie bins for indoor and outdoor storage
Shredding bags and security ties

We have containers to suit every type of business and workplace environment. We are proud that the finishes on our lockable shredding consoles are front-of-house standard, which means that you can provide tangible proof to your clients and suppliers that you have provision in place to protect their information.

Are the shredding containers lockable and can we have a key?

Our shredding consoles and wheelie bins are lockable and have a slot in either the front or top to put your confidential waste through. We can supply you with keys by request and ask for these to be put in writing as a key holder can access the confidential waste within the container.

What length of contract do we need to sign up for?

All our regular services are based on a minimum contract term of 12 months. This provides you with the peace of mind of a compliant and confidential destruction service without the hassle or risk of forgetting to keep on top of things.

For shorter projects or one-off requirements, our ad hoc and one-off shredding service provides document shredding at your convenience and is perfect for clearing out old records.
