Frequently asked questions
Why should an organisation want to change from their existing supplier?
The government has signed up to a mandatory Carbon Reduction Commitment. This means that UK firms are facing changes imposed by the government to become more efficient. While Document destruction is a small part of a firms footprint, ensuring that suppliers are as efficient as possible not only offers marketing differentiation and advantage but also protects the firm from costly price rises due to the suppliers inefficiency. This is made worse if the client is tied into a contract with an inefficient supplier. For example a supplier who has fuel as a large part of their operating costs will be forced to pass on increased costs to his client as fuel duty rises.
My documents are destroyed by a truck on my premises, is this not the most secure?
Not necessarily. The bag or wheelie bin must be emptied into the shredding machine that’s in the back of the truck. Also a shredding machine weighs over 1.5 tonnes and is noisy. It is clearly inefficient and costly to move such a bulky and heavy piece of equipment around clients premises.
How can I order new Shredding Boxes?
It works in two ways. Either by entering into a contract for a fixed amount of time. Alternatively you can order when your bins are full on an ‘ad hoc’ basis
Is it not very expensive, Green ideas normally are?
We believe we’re the cheapest in the market. The reason for this is our efficiency meaning that we can genuinely pass on savings to the customer. If you enter into a contract with us we provide the bins at a discount as it allows us to be more efficient with route planning. Smaller customers can email us when their boxes are full (or just before !) and we’ll swap them over. We call this our pay-as-you-go service.
Do you provide Certification of Destruction ?
Yes, when we destroy your ShreddingBox we issue you with a Certificate of Destruction. Each ShreddingBox carried a unique identity number which allows us to track your documents all the way through the process
