Mobile Shredding

A mobile shredding service (often known as onsite shredding) is one of the easiest and most secure shredding methods of destroying sensitive documents and files because it is carried out on your premises where you can oversee the process. On site shredding is more secure than an off site shredding service. Please see below frequently asked questions for more information on our mobile paper shredding service.

Why do I need a mobile shredding service?

To protect your customer, employees and suppliers as well as comply with the legal obligations set out in the Data Protection Act.

Did you know that identity theft and fraud is increased at an alarming rate and already over 200,000 UK businesses have been victims of identity theft? Don’t one of them – shred everything.

What is the mobile shredding process?

TSA has a shredding process that guarantees the security of your confidential information at every step:

  • We provide appropriate locked and secure containers in which to store your confidential files prior to mobile shredding.
  • The files are then kept securely at your location until The Shredding Alliance services your premised at pre-agreed intervals and mobile document shredding then occurs.
  • Our customer service operators visit your premises in our high throughput mobile shredding trucks whereby document destruction or mobile paper shredding (if you prefer), takes place (on-site).
  • A certificate of destruction is issued as soon as the shred is completed.

Our uniformed staff collect all your confidential waste in one of our shredding trucks and process it there and then. This totally destroys the content of the sensitive files into very small, minute pieces, which are unreadable. The mobile paper shredding service is carried out via onsite shredding and you do not even need to worry about removing staples as this is taken care of by our shredding vehicles.

The high throughput of our vehicles – two tonnes per hour – means there is very limited disruption to your business and we are usually finished quickly. Afterwards we provide you with a certificate of destruction which is essential for an audit trail and Data Protection compliance as well as environmental performance figures.

With identity theft on the increase you need to act now to protect your business and the most efficient way of doing this is to use mobile shredding companies, like TSA to destroy data at your location.
