Protect your practice with confidential shredding

At professional services firms, confidentiality is everything and goes beyond day-to-day operations. You owe your clients and your compliance standards a completely secure and fully verifiable data destruction process.

We support law firms, healthcare organisations, accountancy firms, and other corporate offices with the secure handling, shredding, and destruction of confidential documents and paper records, both on and off-site with our secure shredding facility and mobile shredding options.

No matter the records, no matter the service, we’re on hand to support you in maintaining trust with your clients and abiding by GDPR legislation. Speak with our expert team today to discuss your confidential shredding options.

A business your clients can trust

Your brand’s reputation relies largely on your ability to protect client information, particularly when they trust you with sensitive files, financial records, personal information, or legal documentation. It’s crucial that you’re confident in your organisation’s handling and discarding of physical records at the end of their storage period, ensuring destruction through a fully managed, unbroken chain of custody.

The legal Duty of Care for your practice means you remain responsible for ensuring your confidential records are disposed of securely and in line with the law. While internal record retention and authorisation schedules are for you to determine, you can simplify meeting your compliance requirements by partnering with a company who don’t only provide a shredding service, but also the documents you need for your evidence trail and to meet the highest regulatory standards.

Storage and collection

When it comes to confidential data, true security goes beyond just the destruction. For complete compliance, we support your business with the entire journey: storage, collection, and shredding.

We store all confidential paperwork in lockable containers before loading it onto tracked vehicles during collection. It’s taken directly to our high-security shredding facility for immediate processing and destruction.

Secure storage containers on-site

We supply businesses with lockable console cabinets for daily office environments so that you can safely store documents until collection or destruction. For individual workspace clear-outs, we supply tamper-evident bags and heavy-duty wheelie bins (varying in capacity) for busy mailrooms.

Destruction options

We provide two types of shredding services so that you can make a decision based on your internal company policies and needs.

On-site mobile shredding

If your organisation requires immediate on-site destruction of sensitive data, we offer a highly secure mobile shredding service to easily fit into your security protocols. Paper records are loaded and immediately destroyed before leaving your premises, ensuring your confidential documents never leave your site intact.

Off-site shredding service

Alternatively, if you’re undergoing a high-volume archive clear-out and need an efficient way of moving lots of sensitive data, we securely load and transport your waste straight to our in-house facility for immediate processing and destruction.

Assuring and audit-ready documentation

A clear audit trail is the key to demonstrating regulatory compliance and due diligence. That’s why our team provides you with two distinct compliance documents to support your evidence trail of best practice.

Promptly after processing, we issue you with a Certificate of Destruction so you can definitively prove that your confidential records have been permanently destroyed. Precise dates, vehicle references, total weight, and method of disposal are detailed for your internal records.

A Waste Transfer Note (WTN) is separately delivered in accordance with UK Environmental Protection regulations, confirming the lawful handover of waste and satisfying your statutory Duty of Care obligations regarding environmental tracking.

As a founding member of the United Kingdom Security Shredding Association (UKSSA) along with our NHS-approved processing protocols, we are fully equipped to reliably support your practice’s compliance framework.

Putting your documents in safe hands

At Riverdale Recycling, every step of our secure shredding service is handled entirely in-house to ensure your data is completely protected throughout the entire chain of custody. We never outsource to third-party contractors so that you can keep complete visibility over who is managing your files.

All our staff and shredding specialists are background-checked through police screening to ensure your paperwork never enters the wrong hands.

With a directly managed, in-house fleet, every journey is tracked and operated by our own drivers for completely unbroken security from your office all the way to final destruction.
