Fantastic, friendly walk-in service on the doorstep. Excellent value for small amounts of shredding. Beats having to fill in lengthy online forms often required by other companies.’

Brilliant service. I am so pleased I found this company after being let down by a National company. The service from iData Destruction was much more personalised and flexible and also more cost effective. I couldn’t fault anything from my first enquiry, to my devices / documents being dropped off (George offered to collect my items but I chose to take them myself) and then receiving the certificates of destruction and invoice. All very smooth and professional. I will use them again and I would highlight recommend them too.

This is the fist time we have used them (having a mega, well overdue clearout at home) although I have worked for 2 oganisations locally who have used them for years. The place is accesible, the cost is more than reasonable, the staff are very helpful and happy! we got to see our bag being shredded and the certificate was emailed super promptly.

Excellent service especially for drop in and always ready to help when required.
I’ve sent my young son a couple of times to drop off sacks of waste paper and the kind gentleman showed him how it all works.
My son was really impressed and shared his exciting news during dinner. What a fabulous few they have.

Excellent service, staff come out to collect the confidential waste from my car and take my details. Have dropped off many times I can see my documents being shredded and am asked each time. Staff are friendly and helpful. The certificate of destruction is received the next day. I think it is reasonably priced and have no hesitation recommending IDataDestruction.

Excellent service. iData offer a collection service or pull up to the front door, the latter of which I chose to do this time around, having used their collection service in the past.
Within seconds I was watching our 10 boxes of confidential waste being pulped. Peace of mind knowing it’s been professionally disposed of and recycled. I provided my details and an invoice will be sent. I was in and out in just a few painless minutes. 100% recommended.

I phoned the week before to arrange a walk in appointment for personal confidential paperwork and 2 computer hard drives. Payment is by bank transfer or cash. The whole procedure was straightforward, the lady who attended to me was kind & helpful. Highly recommend.

Excellent service! They come every week to empty the collection, just pop in and empty and leave a paper receipt for the collection, takes seconds. Also great at extra collections, just give them a call, they will collect ASAP and even drop off bags if you need them. Would highly recommend!

Enjoyed watching the actual shredding take place. Will definitely go back. Discovered they can destroy more than just paper goods (hard drives, for example). Thank you for a great friendly service today.

Great professional service. For the home user like me they provide a bag and tie and once filled they will securely shred the paper contents. Always ready to help carry the bags and always friendly. Space for unloading the bags too. Forgot they closed at 12.30pm Fridays. But George was coming out and took my bag .. etc what a star. No more shredding and replacing shredders every few years ..IDD are the complete service

I have recently started using iData to shred old company documents. I have been getting a first class service from iData and at the same time saving myself hours and hours of standing by our old shredding machine. I would recommend iData to everyone.

Fast, efficient and more importantly traceable service from iData. Turned up, dropped my paperwork off, watched it being destroyed, and a couple of days later got a certificate of destruction.
All done by helpful and friendly staff. Many thanks, will definitely be using you again
