Confidential Paper Waste Disposal and Shredding
All confidential waste must be disposed of, collected and then destroyed separately from any other non-confidential documents or waste, before it can be recycled. Once the contents of your confidential waste bins have been collected they are sealed in security bags prior to shredding or collection.
Confidential documents are required to be shredded in accordance with the European standard of paper waste security DIN 32757. The 6 levels (DIN 1 – 6) of this standard set the minimum permitted shredding sizes according to the nature of the data on the document.
As a waste contractor we help businesses comply with these regulations and manage the disposal of their confidential waste. Our Confidential Waste Disposal service works to efficiently and compliantly shred and dispose of sensitive and confidential documents.
As a commercial waste contractor we also offer confidential waste collection and disposal alongside their other waste collection services such as general waste, DRM and WEEE waste collection.
