From Paper Piles to Peace of Mind: A Complete Guide to Drop-Off Shredding
Our drop-off shredding service allows clients to securely deliver confidential documents directly to our facility, providing a reliable solution for businesses and individuals across South Africa. Upon arrival, all materials are carefully weighed and logged into a chain-of-custody system, ensuring every document is tracked from intake to destruction. Shredding is performed using advanced cross-cut technology, reducing paper to tiny particles smaller than 5mm x 40mm, fully meeting NAID standards for secure destruction and making reconstruction virtually impossible.
Security is further ensured through continuous video surveillance, locked storage bins, and handling by certified, vetted personnel, maintaining the highest levels of data integrity. After destruction, clients receive a Certificate of Destruction, detailing the date, volume, and method of shredding, providing verifiable proof for regulatory compliance, including POPIA.
In addition to security, our process is environmentally responsible: 100% of shredded materials are recycled, supporting South Africa’s sustainability goals. This combination of confidentiality, compliance, and eco-conscious practices ensures that clients can safely dispose of sensitive documents while contributing positively to the environment.
Shred Today, Secure Tomorrow: Understanding the Value of Drop-Off Shredding
In South Africa, data breaches cost businesses an average of R53 million per incident in 2024, with 23,445 records typically compromised per breach. POPIA mandates secure disposal of personal information to prevent identity theft and fraud, with non-compliance risking fines up to R10 million or imprisonment. Drop-off shredding eliminates risks associated with improper disposal, such as unauthorized access, complementing digital security in a region where cybercrime losses reached $3 billion from 2019 to 2025.
