Shredding personal documents can help prevent identity theft by ensuring the destruction beyond repair of each piece of paper which may contain personal information which could help a criminal to build up their knowledge of you and assemble a fake identity to pass themselves off as you. Shredding financial documents can help prevent fraudulent activity by stopping someone from having the sensitive information necessary to access your accounts, sysems or pretend to be you or a member of staff.

PaperMountains cares about the environment and looks to minimise it's impact by investing in green software and technology that allows it to reduce the miles traveled each year, process paper more efficiently and recycle the paper plastics and metals after shredding, making the process as environmentally friendly as possible. PaperMountains use secure transport and tracked vehicles to maintain an unbroken, auditable chain of custody from the moment we take charge of your paper until it is destroyed beyond recovery by shredding.

This certificate also shows the amount recycled and helps to measure good environmental practices. PaperMountains shredding services are often more cost-effective than shredding documents in-house, especially for businesses that generate large volumes of sensitive documents. Individuals wanting personal shredding save lots of time and don't spend money on slow home shredders by using our home shredding service.


Shredding documents is of course something that can be done by you at home or by your company in-house and a wide variety of home or office shredders are available, however do-it-yourself shredding has a number of limitations. The most common of which are are:

Personal shreaders can only comfortably take a couple of sheets at the same time meaning that files have to be manually disassembled and continuously fed into the shredder, should too much go in at once then the shredder will jam and require clearing before restarting.

Many small office and home shredders only cut the page into long strips rather than cross cutting the paper into small pieces. This type of strip cut shredding is not particularly safe as the pieces can be put back together relatively easiy to allow their contents to be read.

The time it taks for the paper to pass through the shredder is slow and it takes constant attention to keep it fed so you or a memberof staff are dedicated to shredding.

Once it has been shredded paper is bulky, dusty and difficult to find an efficient way to recycle in small quantities.
