Secure Shredding For Individuals, Public & Private Sectors

You may be doubting if your sector requires a professional paper shredding service to dispose of your paperwork. The fact is, every sector does, private or public. 

Simply Shredding has been operating for years from our base in central Scotland. We are a network of shredding companies who are on our way to becoming one of the largest shredding networks within the UK to cover the business and home shredding sectors.

We continue to provide confidential shredding for companies of all sizes, from Healthcare professionals disposing of sensitive data to the paper waste of large PLC companies.

It’s not just governments and security businesses that require their documentation to be securely disposed of. A significant reason many use shredding services is legal protection. Whether you’re in the private or the public sector, you have a legal obligation to uphold privacy laws through the Data Protection Act.

The Data Protection Act ensures there are best practices to consider when disposing of business documents. One of these reasons is the fact that your company must consider the legal implications of not using proper disposal methods.

If you have employees and were to, unfortunately, lose confidential information concerning them, the fines could total up to £500,000. Some examples of sensitive information that must be kept secure, no matter what sector you work in, are:

• Legal information
• Personal details that could identify the individual
• Account numbers
• Bank details
• Medical information
• Signatures

Shredding is a cost-effective and secure method for the destruction of documents and paperwork. So whether you’re an individual, a small business or a large company Simply Shredding can cater to your needs no matter the sector.

Despite the public-sector businesses doing their best to move to paperless working, many still depend on physical copies of their confidential records and documentation. This is why we try to cater to everyone possible from walk-in clients with a bag of paper or pick-ups of a van’s worth.

We understand that those in public and private sectors require a safe, secure and often green means of disposing of paperwork. This is why we treat every sector with the same level of professionalism and dedication to quickly shredding paper waste in a thorough and environmentally sustainable way.

All of our depots use state of the art cross-cut shredding machines for maximum security which are significantly more secure and thorough than store-bought shredders. Our machines cut both vertically and horizontally to reduce them to confetti. After this, the shredded paper is baled and sent away for recycling. 

For an added level of security for individuals and legal proof for those in other sectors, we supply a receipt, or Certificate of Destruction once your paper waste has been shredded.
