Personal records can contain enough information to support identity fraud. Bank statements, bills, receipts, medical letters and old correspondence should not simply be placed in household rubbish or recycling.

Not all shredders are equal

Small home shredders can be slow, messy and unsuitable for a larger clear-out. Professional destruction processes confidential paper at scale and mixes it with other material, making reconstruction far more difficult.

1Collect your paperworkUse strong bags or boxes and estimate the quantity.

2Choose collection or drop-offYour nearest Bradshaw team will explain the available options.

3Secure destructionYour paperwork is destroyed and a Certificate of Destruction is issued.

We can help with one bag, a home-office clear-out, paperwork from a house move or a larger collection of family records.

How much does home shredding cost?

Start with the published paper shredding prices. The number and size of your bags, and whether collection is required, affect the quotation. If your documents are in storage boxes rather than sacks, describe their dimensions and how full they are so the team can advise.

Can I bring documents to a Bradshaw location?

Contact your nearest Bradshaw team before travelling to agree handover. Drop-off is not a promise of immediate shredding while you wait: Bradshaw manages controlled handling and onward destruction through approved specialist processing facilities.

Prepare your paperwork before handover

Keep documents you still need separate from those intended for destruction. Secure the unwanted papers in suitable bags or boxes and check which items must be kept out. List any old hard drives or other media separately, as they need different destruction arrangements.
