What happens to the shredded paper?

From time to time we get asked questions like ‘What happens to my shredded paper?’ and ‘Where does the material go?’

After your confidential paper is collected, it is securely transported to our Destruction Facility here in Raheen. It is then loaded straight onto the conveyor belt and into the Industrial Shredder. We operate a same-day shred policy, so whether it’s On Site or Off Site, all material is securely destroyed on the day of collection.

Once shredded, it is then baled and shipped for recycling to the paper mills in the UK. Here, it can be turned into anything from kitchen paper, tissues, toilet paper etc. A destruction certificate is then issued along with the invoice.

By using our professional shredding services, you are not only eliminating the risk of personal information ending up in the wrong hands, you are also significantly helping the environment.
