Shredding services Colchester, Essex

Shredsec provides shredding services for homes and businesses throughout Colchester and North Essex. From our base in Bury St Edmunds, we offer next day collections across the Colchester area.

Our shredders operate at level 3 of DIN 32757, the European standard for paper shredder security. This produces material similar to confetti, making reconstruction impossible. Learn more about shredder security levels.
