Confidential Waste Collection Service

Process of switching from another service provider was easy and we were kept informed at each stage of setting the service up. The collections have been carried out in a timely manner. The Customer Portal is easy to use.

Excellent service.

The on-site shredding operation was delivered within the four hour time scale agreed. The driver advised when he was on his way and, on arrival, dealt with the operation in a totally professional and helpful way.

Excellent service!

Great service, highly recommend

We had a huge amount of shredding to be done and Adam was very helpful and accomodated our specific requests. We have also booked subsequent collections and will use again
They are able to shred documents in plastic wallets (all of ours were) which saved so much time sorting out and they will accomodate your own containers/bags if required. They also offer onsite shredding which didnt suit us this time because of the volume and cost, but may do in future.

I had a fantastic experience thanks to Paula Butterworth. She went above and beyond to help organise additional pick-ups and accommodate extra bags, making what could have been a stressful situation completely hassle free.

Paula was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the process.

Thank you, Paula, for your outstanding customer service and support. It was greatly appreciated,
