It’s a mistaken view that only large companies or government departments should worry about their paperwork. Small companies should be taking their paper waste seriously too.

But why bother in Paisley? What’s the big deal?

GDPR

What’s GDPR? It’s the General Data Protection Regulation.

This regulation was created by the European Parliament and Council in 2018, replacing the former Data Protection Act from 1998. GDPR requires companies to protect customers’ data responsibly and accurately. Companies must store any digital and physical information securely and, when the time comes, dispose of this data thoroughly.

So, how can your Paisley business do this?

Paper Shredding in Glasgow & Paisley

Can paper shredding really make a difference to your Paisley company? How important can it be?

Benefits of Shredding for your Glasgow & Paisley Business

Prevention of Fraud

Fraud is a growing risk to individuals and companies in Paisley. GBG reported that in 2020, 1 in 5 people were affected by identity fraud.

To use regular bins in the workplace isn’t enough. Anyone in your office has access to these and when dumped in your regular outside refuse area – who knows who’s hands it could fall into. That’s why WRC Shredding Services offer lockable confidential bins for your waste that our trained Destruction Team will empty on a regular basis.

Reduced Fire Hazards

Fire risk assessments should be regularly carried out on your Paisley premises. If your company requires storage of physical paper documents – this should be considered during your evaluations.

By regularly scheduling a paper shredding service, this fire risk will be reduced. Our Destruction Team will arrive at your premises at the allocated date and time. There, they will either shred the documents on site with our trusty mobile shredding truck or remove the waste to be shredded onsite at our recycling plant in Inchinnan, Paisley.

Saving Space

Not only does shredding minimise fire hazards, but it will save you space too! Your Paisley office could be transformed.

Think of the possibilities after clearing out a backroom previously full of disregarded paperwork. After organising a full clearance job to securely shred confidential documents – the space left is for you to enjoy!

Saving the Environment

Year upon year thousands of trees are cut down to create paper products. This environmental impact can be reduced by recycling shredded documents.

Your shredded waste can be made into various paper goods. From tissue paper to toilet paper, kitchen roll to Styrofoam, even compost, the environmental impact your Paisley company has could be drastically reduced.

Saving Time

Does one of your colleagues currently shred all your documents? Have you got piles of confidential data waiting to be shredded by one shredder in the workplace?

Save time by trusting professionals like Paisley’s WRC Shredding Services. Our large, powerful shredders can shred documents in minutes. Not only will this save you and your colleagues time, but it will also see productivity increase.
