Confidential Paper shredding service

The BID recognizes the significance of securely disposing of information that, if not done within regulations, can cost a business a vast some of money in fines.

Since 2017 the Governments General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for any data containing ‘sensitive information ‘requires proof of destruction for compliance purposes. Many companies who shred themselves are doing the right thing, but there is no proof that shredding has been carried out if an official were to audit them. Also, the paper waste may not necessarily end up in paper recycling which it should do since regulation changes in 2012.

We have now launched our confidential paper shredding service at Alloa Business Centre, Hilton House, and The E-Centre where it has been welcomed by the businesses.

The BID Board of Directors are agreed that this type of service can only be cost-effective at multi-tenanted sites, such as the three mentioned.

With that in mind, the BID has negotiated a discount with Highlander Recycling should an individual business wish to use their confidential paper shredding service.

The offer of bags only, upon request to Highlander, they would deliver 10 bags minimum at £29 + VAT This would be a reduction form £40.60 + VAT.

If your business can store the shredded paper, in the bags, until the 10 are filled, all you would do is contact Highlander and they remove it, dispose of it and your business will receive a certificate as proof that you are complying with legislation.

We should point out that it is best to only request an uplift when the 10 bags are full as the £29 charge applies whether it is ten bags or two.
