Find out about Zero Paper Shred, our carbon-negative document destruction service.

Secure, convenient and cost-effective document shredding

Using our vetted staff and secure infrastructure we provide a secure, convenient and cost-effective solution to your document shredding needs. Our services comply with all standards for secure paper shredding. We can provide this as a regular service, or on an ad-hoc basis — and can collect any WEEE/IT equipment to recycle at the same time.

Your documents will be collected from your site and then transported to our secure destruction facility on the same day. Once the shredding is complete, we will send you a certificate of destruction. All you need to do is package up your confidential paper waste into suitable boxes or bags and we will collect them from your premises at a suitable time.

We strongly recommend you use archive boxes, or bags made of strong plastic/woven fabrics that can be sealed. Please ensure that each box/bag weighs less than 15kg, so they are not too heavy for our team to lift.

What it costs per box

It’s £45.00 per bag or box, for the first 10 boxes, and £3.00 per additional bag or box once you have more than ten.

Reusable. confidential waste bags

Use our confidential waste bags, which are continuously re-used and the most eco friendly option. Get 25 bags for £20.00, including postage, and it’s just £5 for repeat orders.
