Job Spec

We were asked to collect and shred 150 sacks of confidential waste paperwork for our Client FCS Cleaning who provide a contract cleaning, waste collection and facilities management service. This confidential clearance was for one of their clients, a housing association based in Redhill, Surrey.

Obstacles

The sheer volume of paper at the premises filled an entire room and posed a significant fire risk to the building and had to be cleared the same week and as soon as possible!

Solution

Identity Destruction Ltd responded within in 48 hours and sent two vans to collect the confidential waste paperwork weighing over 2 tonnes and bring back to our CCTV managed shredding facility for destruction.

Our shred team were despatched to the Client's workplace quick smart

The 150 sacks of confidential paperwork were collected by two members of the iD shred team in just 90 minutes

Our GPS tracked vans were loaded up with over 2 tonnes of paperwork

Back at our CCTV managed shredding facility we shredded the paperwork the very same day

This collection generated over 3 x 600kg bales of shredded paper which was sent off for recycling into over 8000 new loo rolls

Outcome

The 150 sacks of confidential paperwork were cross shredded at our secure shredding facility and the paper compacted into 600 kg paper bales to be made ready recycling at a UK tissue recycling mill. These 2 tonnes of shredded paperwork were fully recycled to make over 8000 toilet rolls!
