After Shredding
What Happens After Your Documents Are Destroyed?
Once the paperwork has gone through secure destruction, the original paper records should no longer remain readable in their previous form.
A certificate of destruction is emailed when the shredding job has been completed, giving you a record that the destruction process has taken place.
Businesses that need a record of what is being destroyed can also ask about the Document Summary Service, which provides a basic digital log of boxes or files before shredding.
If your organisation has a particular requirement relating to document handling or the destruction process, tell the team when booking so they can confirm what is available.
