Document Shredding
We cover Berwick-upon-Tweed, Wooler, Seahouses, Eyemouth, Duns, Kelso and the Scottish Borders helping individuals and local businesses with confidential destruction.
An office clear out, decluttering, historic paperwork, moving house… It can be overwhelming to face a mountain of paperwork which you need to destroy safely. Rather than spend hours using a small desktop shredder Smales Secure Storage can process your confidential paper waste efficiently, securely and promptly.
Smales Secure Storage is able to collect your confidential paper waste direct from your home, office or storage facility. Alternatively, customers can drop off at our West Allerdean facility. You can use your own boxes or sacks but they must be fit for purpose and under 11kg. There is no minimum order – we accept one sack or a complete office clear out. We can supply customers with free sacks and tags.
How does the shredding service work?
Call our office on 01289 382223 or email laura@smalessecurestorage.co.uk to book a collection or drop-off. On receipt of a customer’s confidential waste, we will generate a Waste Transfer Note. This is mandatory for the Environment Agency and by signing, the customer confirms the transfer of the confidential waste. A copy will be emailed to the customer and should be retained for two years. Once the shredding process has been complete, an invoice and Certificate of Destruction will be forwarded to the customer.
