Document disposal for house move

We needed a lot of old paperwork destroyed due to moving house and using The Shredding Company was quick, easy and good value. The bags I ordered were delivered promptly and I was kept informed via email of the process. Once I had filled the bags, collection was arranged really quickly and the bags were collected in a timely manner. The staff member who collected the bags was polite and helpful. All in all a very easy experience.

Cheap easy solution to a problem

Planning to downsize after 40 years I had lots of archives that needed secure disposal. Far too much for home shredding or burning. Web search found Hill Company were local and offered prepaid sacks for a small price. Collected empty sacks about 10 days ago and delivered full sacks back yesterday. Today received certificate of destruction. Cheap easy solution to a problem.
