Shredding for Private Customers

If you have had a clear out or are decluttering prior to a move, it’s important to ensure that any documents containing sensitive information of any kind are disposed of safely. Britannia Lanes can help with that.

We will provide you with the shredding bags, and you can put up to 20kg of confidential waste into each bag, and then close them with the seal provided.

If you have 5 bags or more, just give us a call and we’ll book in a time to come and pick them up for you. Alternatively, you can drop them into our Truro depot during our normal opening hours.

You don’t need to remove staples or paperclips in advance, we’ll handle that for you. We can even shred hard drives, CDs and DVDs – just let us know what you need.

To get started, simply give us a call on 01872 470089, or email cornwall@britannialanes.co.uk to order your shredding bags. We’ll post these to you within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.

Regular Shredding for Businesses in Cornwall

If you are looking for document shredding on a regular basis for your business, we can provide you with lockable shredding consoles as a secure and practical storage solution. Simply place a shredding console in your offices for staff to use, and then we’ll organise a regular collection schedule to suit your needs. Shredding consoles are free of charge and are generally delivered within 7 working days.

Our shredding service is compliant with BSEN15713:2009 standards, and you can track your confidential waste from collection to destruction. Once the process is complete, we provide certificates of destruction. These give you a formal record for compliance purposes, and confirm that your documents have been destroyed to the highest security standards.

Sustainability

Most people and businesses are actively seeking ways to improve their sustainability through environmental, social and governance (ESG) methods, and recycling your shredded documents can be an impactful part of that. All of the paper waste we handle is baled, taken to a paper mill, and recycled into new products.

Shredding and recycling helps to:

• Reduce the amount of waste going into landfill sites
• Save power and water, since recycling paper uses less resources than making new paper products
• Reduce deforestation, as less trees will be needed for virgin paper

We can also shred other materials, such as hard drives and CDs which may contain sensitive material. This is separated from the paper products and disposed of according to waste guidelines.

Why is shredding important?

In today’s security conscious world, it’s important to have peace of mind that you are reducing your exposure to hazards such as identity theft or financial fraud. Bank details, business documents and personal contact details are all regularly sent and received in paper form. It is vital that once this information exceeds its use that it is disposed of in a secure and effective manner to ensure that your details remain confidential and not at risk of fraudulent use.
