How the Service Works

  1. Tell us the approximate number of boxes or items and where they are.
  2. We arrange a collection time and barcode each box so our team can locate it when you need it.
  3. When you need a file, email us to arrange its return. Routine retrievals and collections are included in our standard service; eligible same-day retrievals may be possible before 1pm, depending on route and location.
  4. When your firm approves records for destruction, we arrange confidential shredding and provide a certificate of destruction once completed.
Your organisation decides which records must be kept and authorises any destruction. We carry out the storage, retrieval or shredding instructions agreed with you.
