Business Shredding Services Quote

Confidential shredding services are required for businesses that regularly deal with physical documents. The government, for example, advise keeping tax returns, invoices and other financial documents for six years. This adds up to a big backlog of documents that you need to store. When it comes to disposing of them, you’ll probably be desperate to save space. That’s where professional and confidential waste collection is a must. But these aren’t the only documents that will require confidential shredding.

Old customer details and company documents will eventually need to be disposed of. You can find a reliable, cost-effective solution by using Direct365. Our knowledgeable team can advise you of how much shredding you might need, when and how often. For one-off services, we can organise the visit and provide an accurate collection date, along with instructions for preparation. Most customers need regular servicing, and our team can explain the cost and timings when you call.

For a reliable commercial shredding service, choose Direct365 for peace of mind.

What Types of Commercial Shredding do we Offer?

Regular Shredding - We know many businesses need frequent and secure paper shredding services. These types of contracts are our bread and butter and allow us to regularly attend your premises and dispose of your confidential waste, giving you the confidence that you’re complying with UK data protection laws. Doing this protects your staff, customers and reputation.

One-Off Shredding - Our confidential commercial shredding service for businesses isn’t just for regular customers. This service is ideal for those one-off jobs that come around now and again. Our one-off service lets you pay for exactly what you need and leaves you with no commitment to an ongoing business shredding contract.

On-Site Shredding - Most of our customers are looking for a service that accommodates on-site shredding only. While we offer off-site collection, too, our focus is on giving you exactly what you need. For on-site shredding, our shredding experts attend your property, unload your confidential waste and take it away directly from your premises. Each vehicle shreds your documents on-site and disposes of the waste quickly and discreetly.

Off-Site Shredding - Our off-site shredding service allows staff and employees to have shredding collected from locations away from the main business premises. Whether this is due to extensive working from home or other circumstances, these one-off or permanent shredding solutions cover all bases.
