The Security of Off-Site Shredding
Many people think “watching” is the only way to be safe. However, professional off-site shredding is actually the preferred choice for high-volume and high-security needs because it happens in a controlled, industrial environment.MetroShred
How Metro Shred Protects Your Data:
- Lockable Security Bins: We deliver secure 240L bins to your door. Once you drop your documents inside, they are locked and inaccessible until they reach our secure facility.
- Tracked Transport: Our vehicles follow strict security guidelines and are trackable at all times during their shift, ensuring a transparent chain of custody from your office to our depot.
- Industrial-Grade Destruction: Once at our facility, documents are destroyed beyond recognition using industrial equipment that handles everything from paper to X-rays and photos.
Do I Get Proof of Destruction?
Yes. Even if you aren’t physically present at the facility, you receive a Certificate of Destruction.
This legal document confirms exactly when your materials were destroyed and serves as your proof of compliance with the Australian Privacy Act. For most businesses, this certificate is more important than a physical viewing because it provides a formal audit trail for your records.
- Cost-Effective: Off-site shredding is often significantly more affordable than hiring a specialized mobile truck to sit at your kerb.
- Zero Disruption: You don’t have to spend your morning standing outside watching a machine. We swap your bins and handle the rest.
- High Volume: Our one-off shredding service can handle 20+ archive boxes at once, far more than most residential-style mobile units
