Looking to safely dispose of personal or business paperwork? At Purdie Worldwide, we offer a secure shredding service for households and businesses across the UK. Whether you’re clearing out before a house move or securely destroying sensitive files, our document shredding service is designed to be affordable, convenient, and 100% confidential.
Why Choose Our Document Shredding Services?
We first introduced our secure shredding option after noticing that many of our home removal clients had bags of outdated receipts, bank statements, and private files they no longer needed. Rather than risk these documents falling into the wrong hands, we now offer a trusted, end-to-end shredding solution that meets UK Quality Standards for the Destruction of Confidential Material.

How Our Shredding Process Works
Step 1: Buy Shredding Bags
You can buy a shredding bag in-store (located in central Scotland) or order online via our shop (with local delivery available for a small fee).
Once filled, seal your shredding bag using the provided secure zip ties. Bags can be returned to our office or collected—just give us a call.
Step 3: On-Site Document Shredding
All shredding is carried out at our on-site recycling centre by our trained shredding team. Every bag is monitored by HD 24/7 CCTV surveillance throughout the process.
Step 4: Tracking & Audit Trail
Each shredding bag has a unique tag ID, which we log into our Shredding Register. This allows us to track when and where your documents were shredded, ensuring full transparency and accountability.
Step 5: Certificate of Destruction
After the shredding is complete, you’ll receive a bespoke Certificate of Destruction. This includes time, date, and tag ID details—ideal for personal peace of mind or business compliance.
