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'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
    • Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again. 
    • What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
