We offer a Security Shredding Service for confidential documents, which are securely shredded to security level 3

Personal information  may include names, addresses, phone numbers and credit card details, these can be found on Utility Bills, Bank statements, Cheque book stubs, credit card slips, Credit card statements, Wage slips, Old credit card paperwork, and back up CD’s.

At Castles we offer a secure security shredding service for sensitive and confidential documentation. You can simply call into the office, collect one of our special secure shredding sacks with a numbered seal, pay your £7.00 and take it away.

Take as long as you like to fill the bag with your paperwork/documents/CD backups to a maximum weight of 17kg and seal it yourself.

Return the sack to us during normal office hours, and then we will guarantee to shred the contents in our industrial shredder within 2 hours and issue a Certificate of Destruction for your records, if required.

The shredder feeds the shredded paperwork directly into our own baler, which compresses the paper with a force of 52 tonne. It produces a mill size bale (H 1.1 x W 0.75 x L 1.45) which is then sent to the paper mills to be recycled into other paper products, so providing a closed loop recycling solution.

If you are unable to collect the bags during the normal working day, we are able at an extra cost, of £1 per bag, post out the bags to you for filling. We are able to offer a collection service of the filled bags, price quoted depending on collection address.
