Commercial & Industrial Shredding

Businesses hold large amounts of confidential data. From client and confidential business information and records through to the personal details of your staff, it’s vital that you have policies in place to routinely destroy information and data that’s no longer required.

We routinely support businesses with the destruction of banking books, receipt books, sign in forms, contractor inductions and diaries as well as the more commonly recognised confidential data, such as employee records and financial documents. All of these materials can contain information that can harm your business, your clients or your employees if it falls into the wrong hands, in addition to being in breach of privacy legislation.

A regular collection service makes it easy to ensure your business is compliant. With just one phone call, we can organise a regular scheduled collection of confidential documents and data for destruction. We’ll deliver your choice of container and come to you on a schedule that suits your business needs. Our highly professional team will collect your documents, shred them on site and issue a Certificate of Destruction within 24 hours. On schedule, on time and without any extra effort from your team.

Often in business we find ourselves with a backlog of data, documents or materials that are no longer needed. In addition to taking up space, bulky documents and boxes can be difficult for your team to manage. At Shred Easy, our Office Cleanout service takes all the hard work out. Our team will collect whatever you need destroyed and bring it back to our purpose-built secure shredding facility. Your materials, documents and technology will be securely destroyed the same day, with a Certificate of Destruction issued within 24 hours. It’s the easiest way to manage office clean outs, relocations and or changes to your office space. We’re here to help you reclaim your space and reduce your risk.

All Australian businesses are required to comply with the Privacy Act 1988. The Act protects the privacy of individuals and dictates how their personal information is handled. The Act covers the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information.

The Privacy Act was amended recently to enhance the protection of privacy in Australia, with 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) applied to all organisations with revenue greater than $3 million.

One of the key principles dictates that businesses must take reasonable steps to protect personal data from mis-use, including an obligation to destroy or de-identify data in some circumstances. This is where secure shredding and data destruction is critical to avoid significant fines and reputational damage.
