Paper Shredding Services in Northampton
GTB Paper Shredding provides secure, affordable confidential document shredding services to homes and businesses in Northampton (NN1). We are a local, family-run business based in Barwell — just 35 miles from Northampton — making us the natural choice for paper shredding in Northampton.
Northampton is the county town of Northamptonshire and has been a centre of British shoe-making for over 400 years — Church’s, Crockett & Jones and Tricker’s all still operate here. Today the local economy is dominated by logistics and distribution, with major sites at Brackmills, Pineham and Moulton Park, plus financial-services HQs around the Waterside Enterprise Zone. We shred for homes and businesses across the NN postcodes — including offices in the town centre and Far Cotton, trades in Duston and Kingsthorpe, and rural properties out toward Wootton and Weston Favell. Whether you need to shred a single bag of old bank statements, clear out years of archived office files, or set up a regular shredding service for your Northampton business, we have a solution for you. From just one bag to over 1,000, no job is too big or too small.
We are ICO registered and Environment Agency licensed (Waste Carrier Licence: CBDU340450). Every job includes a Certificate of Destruction — your proof of GDPR-compliant disposal, essential for any Northampton business handling personal data.
