Why opt for secure shredding?

  • The responsible disposal of confidential waste prevents it from falling into the wrong hands. Bank statements and documents with addresses, full names and other sensitive information should not be put in the recycling bin or general waste. The same applies to electronic storage devices. Some skilled people can still access deleted or reformatted files on hard drives. Identity theft is not uncommon and it is important to be aware of how to protect yourself.

    Datashredders has the resources to shred large quantities of confidential material in one load. What may take hours with an office shredder takes us only minutes. Furthermore, there is no need for you to separate out your waste. We can destroy plastic, paper and electronics all together. All you need to do is put it in one of our provided polypropylene sacks or secure waste containers for us to collect.

Shredding Services in Essex

On-Site Document Shredding, Essex

Datashredders is unique in its provision of mobile on-site shredding services. Our mobile Linder Micromat shredding equipment can be driven directly to your doorstep. This has several benefits: the chance of your material falling into unauthorised hands is reduced, the time it takes for document disposal is reduced, and you can oversee the whole process. Our home shredding solution is a convenient and tailored service that can fit around your busy schedule. 

Off-Site Document Shredding, Essex

Off-site shredding is the process whereby we collect your confidential material, tipping it directly from your secure waste container onto our vehicle and transporting it back to our shredding facility. There, it will be destroyed along with other sensitive material on the same day. Off-site shredding is our most cost-effective service because we can carry out confidential destruction in bulk. 

To ensure that your confidential files are not compromised, all our vehicles are tracked, our facilities are monitored by 24-hour CCTV, and we have erected high perimeter fencing to keep out trespassers. 

Paper Shredding and Hard Drive Destruction, Essex

With our efficient hydraulic shredders, Datashredders can securely destroy hard drives and electronic storage devices. It is known that people with the relevant skills are able recover information from fragmented pieces of circuitry. We can guarantee that this will not be possible after we have carried out our security shredding procedures. 

Our media destruction service covers anything from hard drives, flash drives, CDs, DVDs, audio tapes, mobile phones, SD cards and other portable storage devices. The waste metal and plastic that results from the shredding process will be incinerated at an Energy from Waste Plant to generate electricity for homes across the UK. 

Commercial Office Shredding, Essex

Commercial businesses have a legal obligation to their staff and clients to securely dispose of confidential material. Failure to comply with data protection laws can have severe repercussions, such as large fines, a damaged reputation, or worse. We offer regular media and paper shredding services for your business to keep on top of data destruction. Schedule us in for a weekly, monthly or bi-monthly collection and we’ll cover your back. 

Domestic Shredding for Private Individuals, Essex

You may be wondering if our services apply to the regular citizen who maybe has the odd box of personal documents and one old laptop they need to get rid of. The answer is yes, of course! Datashredders will shred any quantity of material, no matter how small. Our home shredding service entails us bringing our mobile shredder to your house. We will provide you with a secure waste sack or container for you to place your files in and this will be fed directly into the machine as you watch. 

One-Off Office Shredding, Essex

Our one-off clearance service is the ultimate spring clean. You can contact us to come to your premises (business or residential) and clear out your clutter. Maybe it is a garage that has been accumulating towers of Stuff and hidden dust gremlins, or perhaps it is high time you got rid of a backlog of outdated records. Whatever your needs, we can meet them. 

We will go through everything. Everything that can be shredded will be. Everything else will be removed for repurposing or recycling. The only thing you need to worry about is not leaving anything in there that you don’t want destroyed! 

Hybrid Work Services, Essex

With more and more business adapting hybrid methods of working in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, confidential waste management policies have had to adapt too. Confidential documents are being stored out of the office, in the homes of employees. As such, it is important to keep track of the paper trail and ensure that sensitive information is being disposed of as it should be. 

Datashredders’ hybrid shredding service is two-fold. We can either include both your company premises and the employee’s home in our collection route; or the employee can drop off their material at the office for us to collect everything in one go.

About Essex

The county of Essex is located among the home counties in the East of England with Chelmsford as the county town. Essex was an Anglo-Saxon Kingdom and is classified as one of the historic counties of England. It was once the territory of the Iron Age Trinovantes tribe, whose capital was Colchester. As a ceremonial, administrative and postal county, Essex has different geographical boundaries. The county covers many rural areas, as well as London Stansted Airport, the new towns of Basildon and Harlow, Lakeside Shopping Centre, the port of Tilbury, and the City and borough of Southend-on-Sea. It encompasses some deep estuaries on the North Sea coast, giving it the longest coastline of any English county. Interestingly, cowslip is the county plant.
