Drop off your personal or business paperwork for secure same day shredding
How does it work:
Step 1:
Firstly you need to get your paperwork ready to bring to us – you are welcome to collect some UShred shredding sacks or you can use your own bags or boxes, whichever is easiest for you. Our confidential shredding service is for households and commercial businesses to bring their paperwork for secure destruction.
Please ensure you have sorted out your paperwork and removed any non-paper items. We can not shred plastic wallets, treasury tags, comb/wire binders, lever arch files, batteries, sweet/food wrappers and other waste items.
Step 2:
Bring your paperwork to our shredding site in Neston, Cheshire. We are open for shredding drop off from 9am till 4pm on Monday to Friday. When you drop off you can park outside our roller door and load the paperwork into the holders provided, we will then take payment and then shred all paperwork same day.
If you want to wait whilst your documents are securely shredded, you just need to book an appointment. You can do this by calling us on 0151 336 2122 or emailing admin@ushred.co.uk and our team will sort that out for you and ensure a shredder trained operator is ready to shred for you at that time.
Step 3:
Next, our team get everything securely shredded on our industrial cross cut shredder same day as drop off for you.
If required, we will email you a copy of your VAT invoice and certificate of destruction.
Step 4:
All shredded paperwork is then baled for further security and palletised. Then all pallets of paper go for recycling to ensure that our document shredding service is secure as well as environmentally-friendly.
