Onsite Hard Drive Shredding
We bring an industrial shredder to your car park. Your team watches every drive get destroyed, signs the certificate, and no readable media ever leaves your site.
Every shredding visit ends with a complete pack you can hand straight to your auditors, your DPO or the ICO.

Serial-numbered, signed onsite by you and our operator
Optional Video Evidence
Timestamped CCTV footage of the shred chamber

WEEE Recycling Certificate
Zero-landfill processing of all shredded fragments
Quick answer
When is onsite hard drive shredding needed?
Onsite hard drive shredding is used when data-bearing media must not leave your site intact. A mobile shredding unit destroys drives at your premises under witnessed, controlled custody, producing visible destruction and certificate evidence for high-risk or regulated environments.
Why teams pick onsite over offsite
Drives never leave your site in a readable state
Witnessed in Person
Your authorised personnel observe every drive being shredded from start to finish.
Mobile UK Fleet
GPS-tracked shredding trucks: same-day Essex, 48-72 hours London and the South East, scheduled runs UK-wide.
NIST 800-88 Destroy
Drives reduced to 6-20 mm fragments as standard, up to 2 mm for high-security. Irrecoverable, full stop.
On-the-Spot Certificates
Per-device, serial-numbered Certificate of Destruction signed before we leave your premises.

Six steps. One witnessed site visit.
From the moment our truck pulls onto your loading bay to the moment it leaves with the shredded fragments. Every stage is tracked, witnessed and signed off.
Pre-Visit Brief
We confirm volume, drive types, vehicle access, witness requirements and security clearance, all before your visit slot is booked.
Truck Arrives Onsite
GPS-tracked, unmarked mobile shredder rolls up, crew checks in with reception and your nominated witness.
Drive Check-In
Each serial is scanned against your asset register on a tamper-evident manifest. Missing drives flagged before destruction starts.
Witnessed Shredding
Drives fed into the shredder one batch at a time. Your witness watches through the inspection port, with optional CCTV recording of the chamber.
Certificate Sign-Off
Per-device Certificate of Destruction printed on-site, your witness countersigns, and you keep a copy before we drive away.
Recycling & Audit Pack
Fragments returned to our licensed UK recycler. Full audit pack (certificate, manifest, chain-of-custody, WEEE note, optional video) emailed within 24 hours.
