Secure Home Shred – How It Works

Our HomeShred service is so straight forward and easy to use. More importantly the price we quote is all inclusive.

Other domestic shredding companies will charge for empty sacks, then charge again to collect them. With us, when you place your order, you won't pay a penny more until you decide to order more sacks.

1. You buy your sacks online, we despatch by 1st Class Royal Mail to your home or business address.
2. You receive the sacks – each has a unique barcode which we have assigned to you and which we’ll use to track the journey of each sack.
3. You fill your sacks with your paperwork at a time to suit you – there’s no time limit.
4. Identify your local drop off location. If it is a DHL Service Centre you’ll need to put each sack into one of the heavy-duty plastic mailing bags we sent you with the returns label stuck to it. This ensures the security and anonymity of your confidential paperwork in transit. For drop off at Cambridge, Bedford or our office, there is no need to place sacks into mailing bags.
5. When you have dropped off, you will need to let us know by entering the unique barcode numbers from your sacks. We’ll then monitor the progress of your sack through our network to ensure it is received at our site and destroyed according to our agreed time frames.
6. Once complete, we’ll email you a certificate to confirm your documents have been shredded

You can track the progress of your sacks at any time through our website. Just enter the unique barcode number assigned to you.

The barcode itself is stuck to the front of your sack when we send it out to you, and a duplicate of the number is stuck to the rear of the leaflet we send out with the sack.
