Superb

I contacted TSC when I was let down by WeShredit (based in Worcertershire but offering a countrywide service) who, after I had advised them that my sacks were ready for collection, advised that they were unable to recruit a driver (!). I live only a few miles from The Shredding Company site and they were happy for me to take my bags to them. Elisha was a model for customer service in general and could not have been more helpful. Easy process and someone to help me unload at the site. I highly recommend them.

Great company

Great company, everything came on time and when they said it would. Once all information had been bagged, quick e-mail and collection was booked. Came within the window quoted and collected the confidential papers to shred.
All very quick and easy.

Very straightforward service

Very straightforward to use their service. Shredding bags arrived within a couple of of days. And once I emailed I was ready, collection was prompt. Received via email, confirmation of destruction a few days after collection.

Great Service

Fast delivery of bags, and replied straight away to arrange collection. Friendly driver who collected, and received an email the next day confirming my waste was destroyed.

Efficient

Whole system worked well, from receiving bags to pick up and shredding. Great way to get rid of the piles of confidential data we'd accumulated over the years.

Efficient and Courteous.

Very good service. Efficient, courteous and very helpful and obliging. I had paid for the bags more than 2 years ago and finally got round to filling all 15 bags. I had expected a hassle trying to get them to collect the bags for shredding due to the length of time. Instead, I had a very good and helpful service and they arranged everything and collected the bags on the day specified.
