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.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
