Easier than shredding yourself

If you need to throw away lots of paperwork with sensitive info on or receipts etc I have found this is worth buying the bags then gradually filling and literally years later paying to get these destroyed SAFELY. Not just papers old credit cards too. Even if hand shredded or covered up a bit if put in normal waste you dont know where the paper is going to end up and its very easy to miss covering up something vital. Even tho you have to pay for destruction they turn up on time to collect, keep you posted when arriving and have proof who they are and send certificate of destruction after. If ocd about personal details and being scammed or cloned I find this is worth the cost. And cost hasnt changed much over the years either.

So Simple!

Very straight forward procedure.
Order bags, arrived within 2 days, load very strong paper bags which are clearly marked for size and weight. The adhesive tape on the closing flap is more than adequate to seal the bag. Arrange collection date with Homeshreds office, the driver phones ahead on the day to confirm arrangements. So simple!

Excellent service

Excellent service from ordering to collection and cost effective in my view. Arrived in the time slot the gave me. Explained what would happen to the bags they collected. I feel confident that my confidential documents will be disposed of safely. It was a very satisfying exercise to get rid of hoards of old bank statements and papers that had accumulated over the years. No mess left for Kids to sort when I'm not here!

Excellent service

Excellent service, from placing the order on line to collection. Was notified by the driver a collection time which made it a seem less experience. Would highly recommend.

The whole process from start to finish…

The whole process from start to finish was reassuringly efficient, timely, with easy to understand instructions. Despite my original natural anxiety this was soon dispelled by the informative website and the efficient and practical staff. I would not hesitate to recommend this service to my friends and family.
