What are shredding sacks?
Shredding sacks are secure, tamper-evident bags used to
collect and store confidential documents before collection
and destruction. Unlike standard bin bags or recycling
sacks, shredding sacks are designed specifically for
confidential waste — they are made from thick, opaque
material so contents cannot be seen, and sealed with
a tamper-evident tie that shows if the sack has been
opened or interfered with between filling and collection.
At Clearcut we supply heavy duty shredding sacks to all
customers on collection plans. Sacks are delivered to
your premises before your first collection and replenished
automatically with every visit. You never need to source
or purchase sacks separately — they are included in
the price.
How shredding sacks work
Step 1 — We deliver your sacks
We deliver a supply of tamper-evident
shredding sacks to your premises before
your first collection. No need to source
them yourself — they are included in
your plan.
Step 2 — Fill with confidential documents
Place your confidential documents, files
and paperwork into the sack as you
generate them. No need to remove
staples, paper clips or elastic bands.
Step 3 — Seal when full
When the sack is full seal it securely
using the tamper-evident tie. The seal
shows if the sack has been interfered
with before collection.
Step 4 — We collect on your schedule
Our security-vetted driver collects
your sealed sacks on your agreed
collection day — weekly, fortnightly
or monthly.
Step 5 — Certified destruction issued
All documents are destroyed at our
certified facility and your certificate
of destruction is issued confirming
full GDPR compliance.

Shredding sacks vs confidential waste bins
We offer two options for storing your confidential
waste between collections — shredding sacks or
lockable confidential waste bins. Here is how
they compare:
Shredding sacks are ideal for businesses with
moderate volumes of confidential waste, limited
office space, or those who prefer a simple
straightforward solution. Sacks are included
as standard in all collection plans, take up
minimal space and are replaced with every visit.
Lockable confidential waste bins are ideal for
businesses with higher daily volumes of confidential
waste, open-plan offices where documents need to
be stored more securely throughout the day, or
organisations that require a more visible
compliance solution for staff. Bins are available
on hire alongside all collection plans.
Many businesses use a combination of both —
a lockable bin in a shared office area fed
into shredding sacks for collection.
Shredding sack collection plans and pricing
Both on-site and offsite shredding are fully
GDPR compliant and both include a certificate
of destruction. The right choice depends on
your specific requirements.
Choose on-site shredding if:
You need to witness the destruction process,
you handle highly sensitive data with strict
governance requirements, you have a large
one-off volume to destroy, or you need a
certificate of destruction on the same day.
Choose offsite collected shredding if:
You need a regular ongoing service at lower
cost, you have moderate volumes of
confidential waste collected on a schedule,
or you prefer a hands-off managed service.

What goes in a shredding sack?
Any document containing personal data under UK GDPR
should go into your shredding sack rather than a
recycling bin or general waste. This includes client
and customer records, employee and HR documents,
financial records and statements, legal documents
and contracts, medical and patient records, invoices
and receipts, printed emails and correspondence,
marketing and sales documents, archive files and
any paperwork containing names, addresses, account
numbers, signatures or any other personal information.
If you are unsure whether a document needs to be
shredded, the safest approach is always to put it
in the shredding sack. The cost of a data breach
far outweighs the cost of shredding a document
that did not strictly need to be destroyed.
