How it works

From Pickup to Certificate

01

Boxes or roll container

Put your paper in archive or moving boxes, up to approx. 20 kg per box. We take them as they stand. Lots of loose paper? Then we bring a 240 L roll container. You fill it within 30 minutes and it leaves with us on the same trip.

02

Pickup by appointment

You choose a pickup date when you order. We come at the agreed moment and note on the pickup slip what we take with us.

03

Straight to destruction

Direct trip to our facility in Amsterdam, no intermediate storage.

04

Destruction and certificate

Destroyed within 24 hours to DIN 66399 P-5. Certificate with date, type of material and unique job number in your inbox within 24 hours.

For whom

Ideal for a One-off Clear-out

Clearing an archive

Retention periods expired, cupboards full of old files. We collect everything in one go.

Offices without parking

City centre or shared building? We come with a van and collect at your door.

Moving or closing

Moving office, closing a practice or settling an estate. One pickup, one certificate.

High volume, low supervision

When watching the destruction is not required, but you do want to be able to prove it. A signed pickup slip plus certificate is enough.

A steady paper flow that keeps coming back? Then a roll container subscription fits better. It stays with you and is emptied periodically.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does chain of custody work if I don't watch?

We destroy at our own facility, so your material is not passed on to another company. From your address it goes straight to destruction, with no intermediate storage. You sign the pickup slip for the handover and the order number comes back on your certificate.

When do I get the certificate?

Within 24 hours of destruction by email.

Do you also come by periodically?

The pickup service is a one-off pickup. You order and we come once. Do you have a steady paper flow? Then choose a roll container subscription. It stays with you and we empty it on a fixed rhythm.

What kind of container do I get?

A 240 L roll container on loan, good for about 4 boxes. We bring it, you fill it within 30 minutes and it leaves with us on the same trip. Want to keep it longer? Then you pay € 105 for the extra trip plus € 9.50 rent per month, excl. VAT.

What does a one-off pickup cost?

The first box costs € 35, each extra box € 25. A roll container costs € 120, each extra container in the same pickup € 45. All-in, excl. 21% VAT.

Do you also collect data carriers?

Yes, in a separate box. Serial numbers we register at the pickup location. Physical destruction at our facility (in the shredder).

Do you work with a processor agreement?

Yes. Standard model on request, we sign before the first job.

What is the difference with mobile destruction on site?

With mobile destruction everything happens on your parking spot and you watch along. With pickup service your material comes to our facility. Mobile is suitable when your liability insurer or professional rules require supervision (law, notaries, healthcare). Pickup is suitable for larger volumes or when parking is not possible.
