Secure Destruction

About our Secure Destruction Services

Recycling Lives guarantees the secure disposal of waste, ensuring that all commercially sensitive waste is disposed of responsibly. 

• Recording the entire destruction process in high definition through Europe’s only online fragmentiser
• Processing all waste at an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility, fully licenced by the Environment Agency
• Offering secure destruction services as part of an environmentally friendly total waste management solution

We provide you with a service that suits your needs, using a recording process that allows you to view destruction from your desk and providing a certificate of destruction for all destroyed waste.
 

Secure Total Waste Management Solutions

We incorporate secure waste disposal into a total waste management solution tailor made to your business, managing all waste streams, including general waste, dry mixed recycling, cardboard and packaging as well as hazardous and confidential waste.

We assess your waste streams to find more efficient ways to manage your confidential waste while ensuring full compliance throughout the disposal process. We aim to reduce waste creation and increase recycle rates through effective total waste management solutions.

Secure Destruction that has a Social Value

All our services, from data destruction to redundant stock disposal, contribute to the creation of significant social value - so secure disposal becomes a charitable process.

As well as supporting our charitable programmes through secure disposal, we are creating skilled jobs in waste management. All our departments, from office-based to operational teams, create training and employment opportunities for people from marginalised backgrounds, giving us a diverse team with a wealth of life and work experience. 

Working with Recycling Lives means your business supports and sustains our life-changing charitable programmes.

Our Facilities

As a national waste management company, we are able to manage your confidential waste disposal alongside multiple waste streams from across your business.

With a network of ten sites, skips and containers of all sizes, and a large fleet of skip wagons, ROROs and artics, we can accommodate all business waste collection.

Secure destruction takes place in Europe’s only online fragmentiser, which records the entire destruction process in high definition, allowing clients to oversee the process remotely.

We also operate a degausser for magnetic media like hard drives and SD cards. This destroys the presence of data and renders magnetic media unusable by using a high-powered electronic field.

Creating Opportunities

All our commercial activities support and sustain our charitable programmes; reducing reoffending, supporting homeless men and redistributing food. These create opportunities through:

• HMP Academies - offenders in prison undertake meaningful work, in recycling and waste management processes, to gain transferable life and work skills ahead of release;
• Residential Support - individuals who would otherwise be homeless are supported to regain their independence and move into work and housing;
• Food Redistribution - small charities and community groups are supported to reduce their running costs and expand their service offering as we redistribute surplus food from supermarkets and suppliers to them.
