Data destruction for all types of media

- Fragmenting or incinerating CDs, DVDs, microfiche, disks and audio and video cassettes
Secure storage and collection
We provide secure containers to collect confidential documents in the workplace - security sacks made of double thickness woven polypropylene, which are sealed with a numbered security seal and confi-bins that can store up to 120 litres - and a full-for-empty exchange service.
Tracking your waste to destruction
Our secure fleet of vehicles collect and transport confidential waste to a SITA UK secure shredding and destruction facility.

Why is it important?
Under the Data Protection Act 1988 every organisation has a legal responsibility to safeguard the privacy of anyone whose information they hold, whether this is in a database or printed record. This includes destroying it effectively when it is no longer needed. If you do not comply with these rules, you could be liable to pay compensation to individuals who suffer loss, damage or distress as a result of your actions.
SITA UK’s secure documentation records mean you can demonstrate due diligence in your efforts to process confidential waste securely. You are also welcome to visit any of our sites to witness the destruction of your confidential materials.
