99% of Paper Shredded Is Recycled

Confidential Waste Disposal

Confidential waste disposal is vital – especially since General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into play in May 2018.

Getting rid of all your old paper documents – like bank statements, employee contracts and business reports, for example – will not only help ensure your business is GDPR compliant but will also prevent identity theft and keep confidential staff, customer, and client data safe. And, as an added bonus, helps you free up space around the office.

Take advantage of our confidential waste disposal services where all paper & card is 100% recycled and will allow you to meet GDPR and reassure your clients that no trace of their personal or private information can be found or used without their approval.

Here’s what we do in 3 simple steps:
Confidential Waste Disposal - Doxbond Cambridge

1. Collection

We offer a prompt collection of confidential waste, so instead of leaving sensitive documents in the office overnight, our team can arrange to dispose of them on a regular, ad-hoc or one-off basis – regardless of whether you have a couple of sacks to get rid of or 50!

If you’re worried about what you can put in the sacks and what needs to be removed – be it staples, plastic sleeves, or anything else – give us a call on 01440 714 100 or take a look at our FAQs. Most items go through the powerful shredding machine just fine, but we are always happy to help with your queries.

As a registered waste carrier (registration no. CBDU 163010), we’ll issue a waste transfer note, as required by the Environment Agency, when we collect confidential documents from your site.

2. Storage

Here at Doxbond, we make sure that all confidential waste is stored securely in metal cages until it’s shredded on-site – in accordance to British industry standards BS EN 15713.

Sacks and other items to be shredded are very rarely held at our facility for more than 5 days.

At our site, shredding takes place on a Friday, so what we collect the week before will be securely destroyed by the end of that day.

We list all items as they come off our van and reconcile them to the signed transfer notes we issue at the point of collection. Then each cage is overseen by staff as they are shredded.

If you’d like us to destroy documents already in storage at our secure facility, we can only do so on written request. Alternatively, when you put new documents into storage with us, you can set destruction dates and we’ll issue a reminder as that date approaches – this way you can decide whether it remains in storage, you retrieve it, or we shred it.

3. Disposal

Here at Doxbond, we destroy all documents in line with the General Data Protection Regulations.

Once your documents have been shredded, we’ll provide a certificate of secure destruction to put your mind at ease that they have been completely destroyed.

We aim to recycle at least 99% of shredded paper, and are committed to recycling all other materials wherever possible.

Any materials that can’t be recycled will be sent to a specialist EFW/RDF facility where they’ll be turned into energy to generate heat and power.

If you need computer tapes, discs or hard drives, laptop or PC towers destroyed, rest assured, we offer this secure service for many local companies and will be more than happy to help you. Feel free to find out more about our data drive disposal services today.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a business owner, it’s your legal responsibility to protect personal information belonging to your employees, clients and customers.

Getting rid of private business documents that you no longer need – such as tax records, VAT documents and employment documents – is part of this.

There are penalties in place for those found in breach of privacy regulations set out by the government, and you could be fined as much as 4% of your business's annual turnover – so you can’t afford to overlook the importance of doing so.

Aside from helping you stick to GDPR regulations, our confidential waste disposal service can have many other benefits for your business, including:

• It helps lower your business’s carbon footprint.

• It frees up much-needed space around the office.

• It ensures that data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.

We often get asked what can and cannot go inside our sacks ready for disposal.

Most things – within reason – can go inside, and you don’t have to worry about removing any staples, metal clips or plastic sleeves, as these can all go through our industrial shredder. Even full lever arch and box files can be put inside, but they will take up more space, and could be reused.

You can also pack any old hard drives, tapes, computer discs into our sacks, as well as any old hard drives and laptops – but these must be sent in separately as additional items. These items also need to be kept separate from papers and other files, as they go through different shredders.

If you are planning on disposing of any old laptops or work phones, you must remove the batteries beforehand, as they can cause fires in the shredder.

If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to request a FREE, no-obligation quote for our confidential waste disposal services at Doxbond, don’t hesitate to contact our experts.

Once you’ve received your sacks and security ties, it’s time to get to work on filling them.

There’s no set way of doing this, you just need to remember to keep papers separate from any electronics.

We also recommend removing any papers from lever arch or box files, as they are much more difficult to shred and take up lots of room inside your sack – but this isn’t essential, as our state-of-the-art industrial shredders should be able to take care of them with no problem. If you come across an item you’re not sure can go in your sack, be sure to give our specialists a call on 01223 694 379.

We’re always available and more than happy to provide expert help and advice.

In recent years, there’s been more focus than ever on the importance of recycling, so we understand your concerns over what happens to your items once we’ve collected and destroyed them.

Here at Doxbond, we aim to recycle at least 99% of paper, and we dispose of all other items in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

In addition to this, the sacks we supply are made from polypropylene, which can be recycled along with the materials inside, or sent to a specialist facility where they can be turned into energy to generate heat and power.

We also only work with companies that share our values and beliefs, and who are committed to becoming carbon neutral.
