Why our pickup service

Why Sealed Pickup and Destruction Within 24 Hours?

With standard shredding services your material goes loose into the truck, gets bundled with other customers and sometimes sits for days in a processing centre before being destroyed. That is exactly the moment your chain of custody breaks.

At DeSnipperaar the rule is: loaded sealed, transported sealed, destroyed within 24 hours.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

Pickup per box from € 30 (€ 25 per extra box in the same pickup), per roll container from € 120. Data carriers from € 9 per item. See our full pricing page or call us for a fixed price within 5 minutes.

Do I need to remove staples, paperclips or folders?

No. Our shredder handles staples, paperclips, ring binders and plastic sleeves.

How do I know it was really destroyed?

You watch while it happens. For data carriers we sign off a serial-number list that goes on the Certificate of Destruction.

Do you also destroy working hard drives?

Yes. We physically destroy (crunch or shred), not just wipe. That is the only method that meets GDPR for genuinely confidential data.

What do you do with the material after destruction?

Paper goes to a certified recycling company. Metal and plastic from data carriers are separated and disposed of via a certified e-waste processor.

Do you also work for private individuals?

Yes. For moving, inheritance or clearing out old admin and old laptops/phones we also come to your home.

How quickly can you come?

Usually within 2 to 5 working days. For urgent cases (data breach, audit) often within 24 hours.

Do I get an invoice with VAT?

Yes. Business clients receive an invoice with VAT, private individuals a receipt.
