How to Shred

Shred On Site Melbourne and Shred On Site Geelong can help you determine what can or should be shredded. The days of throwing everything in the rubbish or recycle bin are over. The risks of identity theft and corporate espionage are now too great. Privacy laws have set the standards for how confidential information must be destroyed with large penalties for non-compliance.

Every day, companies rely on their employees to know how to manage and dispose of confidential information. Have those employees received any training or guidance? Are there any written policies or instructions? What needs to be stored, what goes in the rubbish, what should go in the recycle bin, what needs to be securely destroyed?

The correct disposal of information can prevent your business from being fined or receiving negative publicity (e.g. A Current Affair story or a social media storm). You never need to ask “How to Shred”, you just need to call Shred on Site who will handle it all for you!

Around the world, a ‘shred-all’ policy has become best practice. This takes the guess work out of the decisions employees have to make on a day-to-day basis because they know that if it doesn’t have to be stored for legal or business reasons, then it gets shredded, preferably ON SITE.

Here is a list of items that you should consider for destruction:

Very good service! Booked in the day before and arrived when they said. I watched our documents getting shredded on the trucks viewing monitor. It's surprising how much will fit into a blue recycling bin so that kept my costs down.

Incredible customer service, communication, timing and low cost from Andrew and team. Do not look anywhere else. They were able to accomodate all my requests for 20+ bins of drawing and office documents from the closure of an Architecture practice, including a van full of IT equipment. All booked, quoted and completed within the same week during the last week of Dec no less.
As a retired Marriage Celebrant, I had much personal information in relation to hundreds of former clients, which needed to be securely disposed destroyed. I didn't have enough to justify a truck coming to my house, so I took the documents to the Shred On Site office and met very helpful Joshua who organised their destruction. I definitely recommend this company, and will use their services again in the future.

Great service! Shred on Site made the task of disposing of old files and paperwork super easy. I received a confirmation email with the time the driver would arrive and he arrived exactly on time Friendly and efficient service, highly recommend.
I could not recommend this service more highly! 8 years of tax returns, personal medical docs was weighing us down. Shred On Site were incredibly accommodating on dates and times and literally provide service at your front door. The price point was excellent also. Was like a Marie Kondo 'spark joy' moment. Thanks so much, Lisa & Steve
We were very happy with the Shred on Site Service. We had several boxes of material to be shredded. Mike arrived on time and cheerfully tipped everything in to a Shred on Site Bin and promptly wheeled it to his truck. The material was being shredded as Mike filled out his invoice and the job was paid for. Very Efficient service, I would without any hesitation use their service again. Thanks Mike for an excellent, positive experience.
Excellent service. Arrived on time. No need to sort paper , plastic or ring binders. All shredded while you watch. Great way to get rid of those old personal files
Service is exactly as advertised. Easy connection to set up an appointment. Appointment made next day with text reminder and call on approach - very helpful in getting boxes ready for destruction. Thought I only had 2 boxes - after the team members arrived, I realised I had 5 which was no problem for them to accomodate. Out of date but sensitive documentation which they handled and shredded appropriately. Cost was very reasonable, even with the unplanned extras. Service - both from the admin office and team members who arrived - was excellent. I will be using them again for future document shredding and their expanded service offering covering electronic waste, knowing that it will be handled sensitively and efficiently.

Great service. 15 years of company accounts gone. I feel cleansed. The truck came. The bin was wheeled in, filled and then all my confidential files were eaten by the truck. Good riddance!!Thankyou ShredOnSite.

Shred on Site did an amazing job shredding 40 years of paperwork and cardboard after closing our drafting business. Great value for money.very efficient, fast and clean. Great for peace of mind. Thank you.
I have used this company both business and personal shredding. All times customer service was excellent and they were oh so helpful. I found the pricing reasonable and have been more than very satisfied with their procedures. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
come right to where the paperwork was boxed. destruction in front of me. Very quick and no mess at all. polite and professional
Great service, we used to use this company for our business shredding when we lived in Melbourne. We now live in a coastal town but were able to meet the truck on it's mobile rounds and have our shredding down in about 5 minutes! Extremely convenient, friendly and easy to organise.
This was so easy to arrange and communication with company was spot on. Everything was as promised. It was cheaper as a one off to take our documents to a site where they had a regular commitment. A quick call to say they would be there in 20 mins. and it was all done. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again or recommend.
Awesome service- awesome business creating local sustainable practice that benefits the environment and the community. Had my paper shredded within 24 hrs of making contact with Shred On Site- able to witness the shredding- totally security- and knowledge that it would be recycled by local enterprise. Can't recommend highly enough.
Happy with prompt service. Arrived on time and professional. Highly recommended.
The best shredding service. Great communication prior to shredding and when they came to us, the shredding was done on our property in front of us in their truck.
On time and great communication with details. Highly recommended.
This company was great to deal with. Very professional, good communicators and on time. I will continue to use them in the future. Highly recommend!
