Trustworthy and secure service

Super fast turnaround from initial order till sturdy sacks were dropped off and equally quick pickup. A certificate of destruction was supplied afterwards. A very professional service and reassuring that my confidential material was handled securely.

A very good experience

Couldn't fault the service. Disposal sacks arrived as arranged and were collected less than two days later once I had informed The Shredding company of their readiness. Disposal certificate arrived be e-mail the next day. Overall a very good experience.
