Secure confidential waste shredding with a certificate of destruction
Old files, records and paperwork cannot simply go into the recycling if they carry personal or commercial information, because data protection rules make you responsible for how they are destroyed as well as where they end up. A dumped file is a data breach waiting to happen. Kruze arranges confidential waste shredding through licensed specialist partners, complete with a certificate of destruction and full duty of care paperwork, so your records are dealt with securely and you can prove it if you are ever asked.
What this covers
This service handles paper records, customer and staff files, financial and medical paperwork, printouts and archived documents that need to be destroyed rather than merely thrown out. It suits offices, clinics, solicitors, accountants and any business clearing out an archive or closing down a site. Where you also have old hard drives or digital media that still hold data, tell us, because secure media destruction is arranged through the same specialist route rather than being carelessly thrown in with general waste where the data could be recovered.
How it is priced
Confidential shredding is quoted to the job, because the cost depends on the volume, whether it is a single purge or a regular collection, and whether documents need to be shredded on site in front of you or collected in sealed containers first. A one off archive clear out is priced by the amount of material, and an ongoing schedule is quoted to your typical volume so the cost is predictable. Tell us roughly how many boxes or sacks you have and we will give you a clear price before anything is booked or collected, and that price is agreed with you in advance rather than worked out after the material has gone.
Security and documentation
The specialist partners collect the paperwork in secure containers or shred it on site, and then the shredded material is baled and sent for recycling into new paper. You receive a certificate of destruction confirming the records were securely destroyed, along with a waste transfer note covering the collection. Together those two documents are your proof that the data was handled correctly from the point it left your office, which is exactly what you need to demonstrate if you are ever audited or challenged over how records were disposed of.
How to arrange it
Contact us with your business address, a rough volume and whether you want a single purge or a regular collection. We will set it up with the licensed specialists and confirm your slot. Kruze is a fully licensed waste carrier registered under CBDU597687, and more than 85 percent of everything we collect is recycled or reused, including the shredded paper once it has been securely destroyed. If you are clearing an old archive alongside general office junk, we can take the ordinary waste away on the same visit as the confidential material, so the whole clear out is dealt with in one go rather than split across two providers and two days.
Once the paperwork is destroyed, our business waste clearance can take the old furniture and general office waste in the same trip.
