Shred on Site

Document shredding specialists offer a unique and effective service to business customers in the UK looking to safely and securely dispose of documentary waste. Whilst many office processes have ‘gone digital’ most businesses still generate an enormous amount of paper, some of which can be confidential, and disposing of this correctly is very important, both for the company’s own interests and for its clients and customers. There are often charges incorporated into the fees for transporting paper documents to disposal sites, which is why mobile document shredding specialists offer the ideal, cost effective solution to getting rid of essential documents the easy way. 

 

For those who haven’t yet considered document shredding specialists, preferring to do their own disposal, there are some very good reasons why opting for the professionals makes good sense. Perhaps one of the most important motivators for using a service that is focused on secure disposal is so as to comply with the increased data protection requirements for UK businesses. Data protection legislation ensures that individuals have the right to confidentiality in respect of their personal data when it is recorded on paper and records containing personal information that are not disposed of properly can cause serious issues for businesses.

 

In addition to the legal requirements, a professional shredding service that has a mobile element can help prevent private company information being accidentally leaked or falling into the wrong hands. It is a much more cost effective method than taking on large volume disposal in house and ensures that time isn’t spent on disposing of documents manually.

 

Identity theft is becoming a serious problem in the UK, not just for individuals but also for businesses. Business identity theft is where the business is impersonated by the criminal, for example to obtain finance, to defraud clients or creditors and to target consumers. One of the main channels through which business identity theft can occur is where essential documents are not properly disposed of and where those documents can then be retrieved by criminals and used in identity theft to falsify business records or filings, or to impersonate company communications.  Using a professional shredding service ensures that all essential information is correctly disposed of and prevents opportunities arising for identity theft, particularly where the service is a mobile one that can bring the shredding system to the business premises – there is simply no opportunity for the documents to go astray.

 

For those companies looking to streamline their administrative processes, outsourcing document disposal in this way makes a lot of sense. As well as being utterly discreet, mobile document shredding is quick and simple to set up and places no administrative burden on the staff within the company. It is also a great, green option as once the documents have been securely shredded they can then be recycled, reducing the landfill burden on the environment and cutting down the impact that your business has on the world around it. In fact, there are very few reasons not to opt for mobile document shredding specialists – they are the way forward in document disposal.
