Finding Shredding Services For Different Businesses 

Nearly all businesses need to adhere to strict data protection laws. However, whilst we work with all types of businesses to find great prices for destroying confidential information, we often work with professional service businesses, local authorities and financial institutions. 

What Confidential Data Needs To Be Shred? 

Confidential waste covers many types of documents and devices. Anything that holds personal information and private data must be correctly disposed of as breaking GDPR regulations can result in hefty fines of up to 4% of the annual turnover, or €20 million (whichever is greater).

Here are some examples of confidential data that must be responsibly disposed of: 

• Customer/employee-sensitive data
• Financial documents 
• Payroll records 
• Bank statements
• Invoices
• Personnel files and health records 
• Any other business documents

This is a small list but paper shredding requirements expand much further to prevent leaks of sensitive data and identity theft. 

You should also ensure that your waste disposal provider produces a waste transfer note. This is a legal document that tracks your waste to its final destination. This is especially important to prove that you have actioned the secure destruction of sensitive information. You will need to keep records of all waste transfer notes for at least 2 years.
