Where to shred confidential waste?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if there are any public facilities anywhere for shredding confidential waste? Bank statements etc...?


I asked at the Veolia recycling place on Old Kent Road, but they just pack it all together without shredding so I don't fancy leaving it there.


I have rather a lot to shred so don't want to do it manually ideally!


Thanks!

BunnyBurrow, also, if it's stuff like bank statements, you could just cut the identifying parts off (name, address, bank, account number etc, sort code etc) and either shred or mush up those bits, then roughly tear up the parts without identifiers on and mingle those roughly torn up parts amongst the rest of your recycling?


Maybe too much trouble though if there's a lot of it.


ETA: But if it's bank statements from the same bank, you can cut the tops off several of them together, because the identifying parts are always in the same place - at least they are on mine.

I have a shredder, but I find if you've got a lot to do it takes forever, gets clogged up, and keeps cutting out.

    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses? 
    • confused by the question?
    • My point was in response to this:  "The idea that serving as a local councillor (including dealing with the public, internal party politics - which is always the most vicious where the stakes are lowest, and plenty of unpaid prep work) is a great pathway for careerists and moneygrabbers is utter shite. On a per hour basis you'd be far better off working at Sainsbos."   You could give up your job at sainsbury's and do a councillor's work and be very much better off. Most of these councillors earn this sort of money and still have full time jobs on the side.
