How Is the Paper Shredded?

All documents are destroyed at our secure industrial shredding facility in Barwell, Leicestershire.

Our heavy-duty industrial shredder reduces paper, card folders and files to small, irregular pieces that cannot be reconstructed. The shredded material is then compacted into bales and transported to UK paper mills for recycling.

Please note: we do not offer an on-site shredding service. All shredding takes place at our secure Barwell facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does paper shredding cost?

Our pricing is simple, transparent and tiered by volume — starting from £8.00 per bag for small quantities and dropping as low as £4.75 per bag for larger orders (101+ bags). All prices include VAT and a Certificate of Destruction. Ross-on-Wye depot has its own 2-tier rate (£8.00 / £7.50). See the pricing section on any town page for the exact bands.

What can I shred with GTB?

Pretty much any paper-based confidential material — documents, letters, bank statements, medical records, legal files, HR records, invoices, receipts, exam papers, brochures and more. We can also shred CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, hard drives, ID cards, uniforms and branded merchandise. Staples and paperclips are fine — no need to remove them.

Do you collect documents or do I drop them off?

Both. We can collect from your address (anywhere within our 50-mile Midlands service area) using our electric collection vans, or you can drop off / pick up bags at any of our three depots — Barwell (Leicestershire), Birmingham (Garretts Green) or Ross-on-Wye (Herefordshire).

How secure is your shredding service?

All shredding is carried out at our secure industrial facility in Barwell, Leicestershire. We hold an Environment Agency Upper Tier Waste Carrier Licence (CBDU340450), all staff are security-vetted and DBS-checked, and every job is logged with a chain-of-custody audit trail. Documents are reduced to small irregular pieces that cannot be reassembled, then bailed for 100% recycling.

Do I get a Certificate of Destruction?

Yes — every order includes a Certificate of Destruction at no extra cost. This is your official audit-trail document for GDPR compliance. We email it to you once your shredding has been completed and processed at our Barwell facility.

Can I shred just a small amount, or only bulk?

There is no minimum. We accept small one-off jobs (a single bag from a home office) right up to large recurring contracts (offices, surgeries, schools, accountants, legal firms). Pricing is per bag, so you only pay for what you actually shred.

How do I get started?

The quickest route is to order shredding bags online — they’ll be posted to you, you fill them, then arrange a collection or drop-off. You can also call us on 01455 697 660 (option 2), email info@gtbpapershredding.com, or use the live chat in the bottom-right of this page.
