Security shredding

If your organisation produces confidential material you need a shredding and destruction service that you can trust.

Our shredding service is trusted by some of the UK’s most security-conscious organisations.

Data destruction for all types of media

We provide secure data destruction for all types of media by:

• Shredding paper documents, files and computer print-outs - then recycling them
• 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 security shredding and destruction facility.

Consignments are unloaded under supervision on site and confidential material is destroyed within 24 hours of collection.

Our services ensure that information is destroyed and we provide a secure audit trail for every consignment we process, ensuring that your waste is secure from storage through to transit and destruction.

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.
