Company says — stated on its website, not yet checked by us
Verified means we found it on the official register or the scheme’s own list on the date shown. Company says means it is stated on the company’s website and we haven’t checked it yet. Registers can lag behind, so “not found” or “no longer current” is not an accusation. What these mean.
About Shred-it UK
Shred-it is a large secure-shredding business owned by the US group Stericycle. In the UK it runs from a registered office in Sale, Greater Manchester, with branches including Solihull (Birmingham), Cardiff, Livingston (Edinburgh), Gateshead (Newcastle) and Warrington, and lists service areas across Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Alongside paper shredding it offers hard drive destruction by shredding or by crushing (a punch through each drive), and media destruction for backup tapes, CDs, DVDs, floppy and zip disks. Work can be done on a regular schedule or as a one-off, at the customer's premises in a mobile shredding truck or off site, and a certificate of destruction is issued after each service. Destroyed material is recycled through approved partners.
It describes itself as a business-to-business company, but its quote form also accepts requests from homes.
