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.
