What happens to material when it has left our building?

Once our revolutionary staff make a collection the material is stored inside our locked vehicles.

Material is then transported at the end of the day's collections to a secure recycling depot in South London. Paper is then immediately emptied in to 1/2 ton cages and emptied again onto a conveyer system. A machine then shreds the material and it is blown through a pipe and compressed into half ton blocks ready for transportation to a recycling plant in Kent for pulping and bleaching before being repressed into new paper. >> top

What about security?

Your security is very important to us and we take every step to maximise security.

The vast majority of the paper is shredded at the recycling depot, although we do not guarantee that 100% of the paper is shredded. For further security of confidential and sensitive items we recommend our security shredding service or to shred documents in house.

The recycling depots have 24 hour security and our vehicle are locked and alarmed. >> top

How much material can we have collected?

We do not put a limit on amounts for collection and we ask our staff to use their discretion. Although please be aware we must allow room in our vehicles for our other collections.
