The destruction process

Collation
The customer stores the confidential waste in secure containers.

We can provide several different containers for this purpose, from lockable bins to secure bags.

Collection
Confidential waste is collected in secure vans that are alarmed and fitted with immobilisers. Our staff, including management, are security screened to BS 7858 in accordance with ISO 9001/2000 requirements.

Collection is provided on both a scheduled and ad-hoc basis and available inside office hours or outside office hours (to minimise disruption to customer staff).

Destruction
Once collection, confidential waste is taken to one of our secure destruction facilities.

Destruction of confidential waste is guaranteed within 24 hours of collection at facilities protected by CCTV and manned guard, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Shredders at these facilities conform to the BSIA standards for size of fragmentation.

Recycling
Once shredded, paper is baled and recycled.

Certification
At the end of each month, customers are issued with certificates confirming the destruction of their confidential waste. Recycling certificates can also be issued to suit requirements.
