Disposing of old paperwork might seem straightforward, but when it comes to confidential business documents, there’s a right and wrong way to go about it. Data protection laws in the UK—including GDPR—place legal obligations on businesses to handle sensitive information securely, even at the end of its life. That’s where secure shredding services come in.
At SRS Shredding, we help businesses of all sizes protect their data by providing professional, compliant, and reliable shredders and also can provide document destruction. Here’s how you can dispose of confidential documents securely and why it matters.
It’s not just obvious documents like payroll records or medical notes that require secure disposal. Here are a few examples of what should be shredded:
Invoices and receipts with names, addresses, or financial details
Employee records and job applications
Old contracts or business agreements
Marketing lists with personal contact info
Any paperwork with identifiable customer data
Even something as basic as a printed email with a name and address can count as personal data under GDPR.
Office shredders are fine for day-to-day use, but for larger volumes or particularly sensitive information, professional shredding services are safer, faster, and more secure.
SRS Shredding offers:
Off-site shredding – Documents are collected securely and shredded at our depot. - Please ask us for more details on this service as it requires booking in advance.

For businesses that generate regular confidential waste, we provide lockable shredding consoles or secure sacks. These are ideal for placing in offices or departments so staff can dispose of paperwork securely between collections.
Make sure your business keeps a clear record of how and when documents were destroyed. Our clients receive full documentation after each job—ideal for audits or compliance checks.
