Secure Shredding Services
In today’s digital age, physical documents still hold a wealth of sensitive information. If not disposed of properly, these documents can fall into the wrong hands, leading to serious security risks such as identity theft, fraud or corporate espionage.
Simply throwing papers into the bin or straight into recycling may seem convenient, but it leaves your business vulnerable to unauthorised access. Protect your business, safeguard your customers’ information and maintain compliance. Choose secure document shredding services from Storage King today.

Prevent Data Theft
According to the fraud prevention service, Cifas, identity fraud costs the UK almost 2 billion pounds annually. Year-on-year, the rate of organised business fraud also continues to increase. Improperly discarded documents put individuals and businesses at risk financially.
Bank statements, contracts and confidential records thrown in regular waste can be retrieved and misused. Storage King’s secure shredding service ensures that documents are destroyed beyond recovery, preventing unauthorised access.
Our professional disposal process safeguards your information while ensuring compliance with data protection laws. Don’t take chances with sensitive data — choose Storage King’s secure document disposal to keep your personal and business information safe.
Enhance Privacy Protection
Although the world is moving toward a largely paperless society, printed documents are still a part of daily life —whether it’s emails, meeting notes or waybills from deliveries. Shredding at home or in the office is time-consuming and unreliable, and at the end of the day it ends up in a skip or bin, posing a security risk.
Our professional residential shredding services ensures documents are destroyed beyond reconstruction. For added security and convenience, use our shredding bags, available to order online, before bringing in your documents to us.
Improve Legislative Compliance
Improper disposal of financial records, legal documents or customer details can expose your company to compliance violations and reputational damage. Data protection laws, such as the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, require businesses to handle personal and business information responsibly.
Failure to do so could lead to a fine of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover. Our commercial shredding services not only help you comply with these regulations but also gives you peace of mind that your sensitive documents are destroyed beyond recovery. Once done, we will issue you a certificate of destruction via email.
Reduce Environmental Impact
Beyond protecting sensitive information, secure document shredding also plays a role in reducing waste and deforestation.
- Document shredding services recycle shredded paper, keeping it out of landfills.
- Additionally, every ton of recycled paper on average saves 4,000kWh of electricity and 7,000 gallons of water. It also saves 17 trees.
- Recycled paper also reduces the amount of methane, a greenhouse gas, that gets released from paper decomposing in landfills.
Sustainable eco-friendly business practices are not just good for the planet, they are good for your customers too.
