Cost-Effective & Time-Saving

Did you know internal shredding is one of the most inefficient uses of staff time?

A standard shredding console holds up to 40kg of paper
A typical office shredder takes 5 minutes per 1kg
Shredding one console would take over 3.5 hours
That’s €45+ in staff time wasted

With our regular mobile shredding service in Galway, the same work is completed in minutes — at a fraction of the cost — with zero hassle and maximum security.
