4 Reasons Why You Should Use Professional Shredding Services

At GTW, we know how important it is to make sure personal & business documents are disposed of and destroyed in the correct way. While we’re very proud to offer an extensive range of storage services at GTW, we also have the facilities to provide a confidential shredding and document destruction service right from our warehouse in Glasgow.

With more and more of our personal information at risk than ever before, we know that having peace of mind to dispose of your documents in a safe and secure way is essential to keep you and your personal and business affairs and information safe and secure.

Additionally, life has never been faster. Between commuting, work time, family time, and everything else between, finding time to sort through paperwork, and dispose of it correctly, may not be a top priority.

The majority of our business may be online, but when the time comes to destroy such documents, it’s becoming less likely that your home or office will be equipped to do so… that’s where GTW comes in.

If you’re looking to tackle that long-neglected stack of documents and envelopes, here are four reasons why it’s worth getting in touch to make use of our secure shredding services today.

1. Reliable Shredding

Let’s start with the elephant in the room – why not use the one you have at home? From a one-time staple to a quaint relic, they aren’t really a common future of today’s home or even today’s office.

If you do still have one, you’ll know that much like printers, they can be unreliable and temperamental. One minute they’re working great, and the next they’re jammed. When this happens, it’s likely the project will be abandoned, causing an unsightly (and unsafe) pile of unshredded documents nearby that are unsecured and awaiting destruction – it doesn’t bear thinking about!

Unlike domestic paper shredders, a professional paper shredding service is reliable and compliant with the Data Protection Act. You’ll also receive a Certificate of Destruction after completion for extra peace of mind.

2. Waste Disposal

Shredding a lot of paper documents can make for a significant amount of shredded paper. Cumbersome and unsightly, recycling these waste materials is ideal.

However, to save you the faff, GTW can also dispose of them for you as all of our destroyed material is recycled after destruction. Ideal for you and for the environment too!

3. Location

Our warehouse is located in the heart of Glasgow’s City Centre with car parking facilities and loading bays so that you can easily drop off your confidential documents ready to be shredded. This makes it an excellent choice if you’re regularly commuting to and from the city centre, or you have an office nearby.

Just like our storage solutions, our shredding services are available 7 days a week (excluding public holidays). Our opening hours are flexible, catering to typical office working hours:

  • Monday to Friday 8am – 8pm
  • Saturday 9am – 4pm
  • Sunday 10am – 2pm

4. Convenience

Finally, there is no need to be an existing customer to use our shredding services. Not only do we take one-off enquiries, but we also don’t require a minimum quantity of documents, making us the ideal choice for one-off use. No need to wait for delivery times on a home shredder!
