Frequently Asked Questions

What is confidential document shredding?

It is the secure process of destroying sensitive paper documents to prevent unauthorised access to private information. This service ensures that confidential data is irretrievably destroyed, protecting against identity theft, financial fraud and data breaches.

Why is confidential waste disposal important?

The Data Protection Act 1998 sets forth the guidelines for handling personal data, whether stored physically or digitally. Businesses that fail to comply with these regulations risk fines of up to £500,000 and potential legal action. The Act mandates that companies use a professional service like BETT Security Shredding to secure confidential document shredding.

The second important regulation is the 2018 EU General Data Protection Regulation, which remains in effect in the UK post-Brexit with some modifications. GDPR requires businesses to maintain a detailed audit trail for their confidential waste disposal processes, ensuring that all data is destroyed securely and complies with the law.

What documents should not be shredded?

You can specify a time in the Order Notes in the checkout section.

What types of documents should be shredded?

A confidential shredding company should destroy financial records, legal documents, medical records, client information, proprietary business strategies, marketing plans and any other materials containing sensitive information should be disposed of.

How often should I schedule shredding services?

This depends on the volume of waste your business generates. Our confidential waste disposal in London offers flexible scheduling options, including weekly, monthly and one-off collections, to suit your specific needs.

What is the difference between on-site and off-site shredding?

On-site shredding involves mobile shredding units coming directly to your location to destroy documents on-premises. Off-site shredding involves collecting and securely transporting your documents to our facility for destruction. Both methods ensure secure disposal of your confidential waste.
