Our security screened reps arrive at a pre determined time to remove your confidential materials for shredding . Our mobile shredding trucks have secure locked access and contain state of the art shredding machines specifically designed to shred your documents into confetti sized pieces so they can never be reconstructed.

Or, choose our One-Off paper shredding option. If you have large volumes of materials to destroy or have an ‘urgent need’ for shredding services, we can come to you and shred your confidential waste on site.

Identity theft has already grown to become one of the most costly security risks that businesses now face. It’s a threat which can quickly destroy business reputation and security. The potential costs of security breaches of this type could run into millions of pounds, leading to dented credit ratings, angry or lost customers and irreparable damage to your reputation.

In the UK and across the globe, governments and regulators work to develop legislation aimed at protecting consumers and businesses from fraud. But prevention is always the best solution. Ecoshred's waste destruction service has been specifically designed to comply with and compliment all regulatory standards in all areas of the business we conduct. This is more than just good business sense - it’s a legal requirement. Ecoshred develops bespoke secure shredding services for its customers, designed to work with their specific business requirements. These customised programmes ensure that customers are protected from the threat of identity theft, whilst also remaining fully compliant with the relevant privacy regulations for their industry.
In addition, Ecoshred will help you identify which office materials contain confidential or price sensitive information so that your staff can become better informed of the potential vulnerabilities that exist in your workplace.

Ecoshred are also able to shred any type of paper waste material with 100% of the waste being recycled enabling our regular customers to receive a yearly Environmental Certificate indicating the number of trees saved by using ecoshred‘s waste paper recycling services.

How do we do it?
Once your secure paper shredding programme is in place, we can provide you with a range of storage bins, lockable consoles and sack to suit your needs and store your waste until it is scheduled to be destroyed.

How confidential shredding services protect your business
Bank statements and business contracts are by no means the only documents that contain confidential information. On a daily basis, in every business, confidential materials are generated by almost every employee, from strategic planning documents to employee medical records. In reality, more materials than you might at first think contain private information that could be a security risk if in the wrong hands.
