Secure Destruction Services

Secure disposal of documents is essential to get rid of any paperwork containing sensitive information and data safely. You don’t want it falling into the wrong hands or resurfacing somewhere it shouldn’t be later. Secure document disposal ensures the waste items are destroyed to protect those whose information they contain and your business.

The most common disposal method is secure paper shredding. After shredding it can usually be recycled and turned into new items such as recyclable paper cups. Secure shredded paper can also be industrially composted. In some cases, it may be incinerated if shredding is not possible or appropriate.

Secure disposal of confidential documents removes any risk of financial, personal, or other private data being released to the public or being accessed by competitors. We provide a certificate of destruction for all documents and paperwork collected that offers proof and peace of mind of secure document disposal.

Secure electronics disposal and destruction is essential for electrical items and devices containing sensitive data. This could be old computers from an office, servers, mobile phones, and hard drives. Secure e-waste destruction provides extra peace of mind that the data is destroyed rather than just wiping an old device and hoping for the best.

The most common method of secure e-waste destruction is physically destroying them by crushing and shredding the items. Old electronic devices are fed into heavy-duty machinery that shreds them into small pieces to destroy the platters in hard drives, so the data they contain is no longer accessible.

Usually, the metal, glass, and plastic materials are then separated and recycled where possible. Incineration and melting are other methods sometimes applied for secure electronic waste disposal. Businesses may require secure device destruction when updating IT systems, moving premises, or replacing outdated hardware and software.

Secure e-waste destruction is often needed for:

• Computers
• Laptops
• Hard drives
• IT servers
• Mobile phones
• Routers

There are various products that your business may want to destroy to protect consumers, clients, and your brand. These are goods that you can’t donate or reuse for various reasons. It could be due to a safety issue if the products are faulty, prototypes you don’t want to reach competitors, or simply excess stock.

Secure product destruction prevents items from being used, resold, or misused. It applies to goods made of various materials from plastic toys to clothes, electronics, and even glassware. Therefore, methods of secure product destruction vary but the item is destroyed so it’s unusable and any relevant parts can be recycled.
