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.

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
