How do I package my documents for shredding?

You may use any type of bag or box that is safe for our driver to lift, and will not break in transportation. Most people use archive boxes, or bags made of strong plastic/woven fabrics that can be sealed, but we recommend our reusable and confidential waste bags, which are just £20 for 25 bags including postage.

Please ensure that each box/bag weighs less than 15kg, so they are not too heavy for our team to lift.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service for your old or unwanted tech. I wasn’t sure what to do with an old laptop and didn’t have an It recycling centre near me. I was sent a free post label and sent it off to the company who sorted it all for me and even sent me a disposal certificate including what my carbon emissions were! All offset by the company. Would highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was so easy and they were so helpful and because I delivered rather than asked for collection it didn’t cost me anything . They then sent a follow up email and documentation. I highly recommend !! The only thing I would suggest to them is that they put signs up near the units access as sat nav took me to the back of the units and I had to drive around for a while . But a big thumbs up
