Secure Paper & Document Shredding

You send it.
We shred it.

The UK’s trusted send-to-shred service. Order your secure shredding envelope, fill it, send it back tracked, and receive a Certificate of Destruction.

How it Works

Step 1 – Order Envelopes

Order as many secure shredding envelopes as you need. Each holds up to 1kg of paper (approx. 200 sheets), and we’ll dispatch them the same working day.

Step 2 – Fill & Return

Fill the envelope with your documents and secure it with the self-seal strip. Drop it off at your nearest Post Office using the pre-paid label — you can track your envelope online using the receipt provided.

Step 3 – We Shred

Once your envelope arrives at our facility, we shred everything securely. You’ll receive your Certificate of Destruction by email, and all shredded paper is then responsibly recycled.

Once your envelope is filled, seal it securely and drop it off at your nearest Post Office. Keep the Royal Mail receipt — it includes your tracking number so you can follow its journey online. Postage is pre-paid, so there’s nothing extra to pay.

Absolutely. Whether you’re a sole trader, accountant, solicitor, or small office, we offer bulk packs to make managing sensitive paperwork simple and cost-effective.

A Waste Transfer Note (WTN) is a legal document that records how shredded paper waste is handled and recycled. Personal customers don’t normally need one — your Certificate of Destruction is enough. Small business customers often don’t need a WTN either, unless your company requires it for GDPR audits or compliance records. If you do need one, we can issue a WTN upon request and cost £20 admin fee per note.

Don't risk it.
Just ShredThis.

Disposing of confidential documents incorrectly — whether personal or business — can put you at serious risk. When handling sensitive papers or records, there are strict rules on how they must be securely destroyed.

Individuals

Throwing personal paperwork — such as bank statements, bills, or medical records — into household bins or recycling leaves you exposed to identity theft and fraud. Criminals often target unshredded documents to steal personal information. Secure shredding is the only way to guarantee your data stays safe and out of the wrong hands.

Businesses

If you handle company, client, or employee information, you have a legal duty of care to destroy documents securely and compliantly. Failing to do so can lead to GDPR breaches, hefty fines, regulatory audits, and lasting reputational damage. Mishandling sensitive data doesn’t just risk penalties — it risks client trust and your business’s credibility.

Be Aware

In the UK, disposing of business documents in household bins is illegal. All business waste must be securely handled and collected by a licensed carrier.

Really pleased with this service. I had bags of old paperwork lying around and didn’t want the hassle of a shredder. Envelopes arrived next day, tracked postage was handy and I had proof it was destroyed. Exactly what I needed.
