Hi, I'm currently having a massive clear out at home and already have about 5 carrier bags full of paperwork that can only be shredded - it's way too much to do on the small shredder we have. Does anyone know of somewhere I can take it to be securely shredded that's within about 6 miles of ED please? I don't want it collected, I want to bring it myself.


Thanks, Liz

I shred all my secure paper.


I put it all in one of those Large paper garden waste sacks and put it in the BLUE Bin.

Else I give it to the bin person who throws it in the back of the truck.


My shredder is small but does a cross cut into tiny pieces.impossible to read..

I've had it for years. Doesn't take up too much space.

Burning is certainly another option, but you might get incompletely burned pieces of confidential information flying around.


I have a personal shredder, but I had far too much to shred like that. It would have taken weeks. OK if you've only got smallish quantities. I shall shred as I go in future! But in these online days, I am accumulating less paper.


A large shredder like you get in workplaces would do it easily, but obviously you'd need access to one!

I have filled 2 of the large Garden Waste paper sacks. It did take a long time.


Now I am on top of things and shred things as I go.


I did have 30 + folders of College notes. and Course note books from 40 years in Telecoms.

All out of date and no longer relevant and not a security problem. 1,000's of sheets,

Took them to the dump and ditched them.


They did not want the Binders and threw them in the general waste. They were branded with Telecom Logos.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
