Is your confidential waste being discarded securely?
The confidential waste you discard could easily fall into the wrong hands. Without a certified, secure waste management service, sensitive documents, hard drives, and digital media are at risk of exposure, leading to identity theft, financial fraud, and potential damage to your reputation.

We understand the complexities of confidential waste management
At Grundon, we understand your need to safeguard privacy by reliably disposing of confidential waste. Improper handling of sensitive documents can lead to data breaches, which understandably heightens your concerns over privacy infringements. We believe that the secure destruction of personal information is more than a regulatory requirement; it’s a fundamental aspect of maintaining trust and integrity.

What type of bins and containers do you provide?
We offer an array of confidential waste containers including wheeled bins (120-1100 litre), desk-side, metal bins, lockable sacks, and roll-on containers for high volumes. We also provide office-friendly sack cabinets and desk trays.
Depending on the nature of the confidential waste, we offer alternative destruction and disposal methods, including high temperature incineration, deep burial at fully licensed landfills or high-density baling of bulkier items.
How does mobile shredding work?
Our secure mobile shredding service provides on-site destruction of your confidential waste, ensuring convenience and security. A Shred Station representative will come to your location, transfer the contents of your secure, locked containers to our mobile shredding vehicle, and shred all documents on-site. Experience maximum peace of mind with minimal disruption to your schedule.
Why can’t I just use my own shredding machine?
Shredding your confidential documents with us can save costs and boost staff productivity by up to 17%. Handling shredding internally requires dedicated time from employees to perform the shredding securely and efficiently. Non-compliance with data protection regulations can result in hefty fines and legal fees.
With our service, you can leave in staples, plastic wallets and lever arch folders, just bag or bin it. We handle it quickly and with the upmost care in safeguarding your privacy, saving you hours of work and stress. Choose from regular or one-off collections to suit your decluttering needs.
Why should I trust your shredding service?
Our partner, Shred Station, is a member of trade organisations such as BSIA (British Security Association) and UKSSA (United Kingdom Security Shredding Association).
The company is ISO9001 accredited, which incorporates the European Standard for Information Destruction EN15713. Employees are fully trained and vetted to BS7858 standard, plus additional higher security checks, and they undergo regular EN15713 awareness training.
All vehicles, whether mobile on-site or off-site shredding, have CCTV security cameras and are satellite tracked and depots are Home Office approved. All material is shredded into unrecognisable pieces and mixed with hundreds of tonnes of other material.
What happens to the shredded paper?
Once your material has been collected and shredded, it is securely sent to UK recycling centres. All recycled paper then contributes to the production of various paper products, such as paper towels, paper plates, tissues and toilet rolls.
Can you dispose of other data, such as hard drives, memory sticks and CDs?
Yes, we shred digital media in all formats, but it needs to be kept in separate bins or bags from paper, as these are processed and charged differently. We regularly work with businesses and other organisations to dispose of items such as out-of-date stock, consumer goods, clothes, accessories, electronics, cigarettes, banned and controlled substances, liquids, void credit and bank cards, counterfeit and seized merchandise.
