Controlled handling through to destruction
Material identified first
We assess the paper and suitable data items before arranging collection.
Specialist destruction route
Our sister company carries out the shredding after transfer.
Archive projects supported
We collect records from retention reviews, moves, and clear-outs.
Plan secure disposal at the end of retention
Archive reduction, office moves and end-of-retention reviews can leave records that must not enter routine recycling or general waste. We arrange collection through a document shredding service for businesses in London, covering paper records and appropriate data-bearing materials that have first been identified. Tell us the material type, approximate quantity, and where it is held. Segregating sensitive items before collection helps maintain a controlled route and prevents ordinary office waste from being mixed into the destruction requirement. We can assess one-off projects or recurring needs.
Understand who handles each stage
We manage collection and transfer, while our sister company performs the shredding. We explain that division clearly when planning the service. Different data materials may require different arrangements, so don't place unknown devices or media into paper records without discussing them first. Your quote reflects the material type, volume, access, and whether the requirement is recurring. Labelled storage and a clear collection point help staff keep sensitive information separate until it leaves the premises for destruction.
Frequently asked questions
Can data-bearing materials be collected with paper files?
Appropriate materials can be assessed, but identify each type before collection. Don't mix unknown devices or media into paper records. We need the material details and quantities to arrange a suitable destruction route.
Does your team shred documents at our premises?
We handle the collection and transfer rather than performing the shredding ourselves. Our sister company carries out the destruction, and we explain this division of responsibility when setting up the arrangement.
How should sensitive records be stored before collection?
Keep them segregated from general waste and ordinary paper recycling in clearly identified storage. Limit unnecessary handling and place them at the agreed point only when the controlled collection is due.
