The bins are delivered locked and our staff do not have access to the keys.

The keys to these bins are kept in a locked safe at the depot and are signed in and out when accessed by staff who hold the security clearance.

The bins are designed in such a way that no unauthorised access can be gained to the contents. The paper slot in the lid is large enough for approx. 1/3 of a ream of standard paper to be inserted but not large enough for a person’s hand.

The individual numbers for these bins are printed on the customer delivery and collection dockets, this allows for you, the customer, to have sight of which bins are being delivered or collected and which bins are still on site.

These individual identifiers are used for all paperwork pertaining to the delivery, collection and destruction of the contents of these bins. They can, therefore, be tracked throughout the entire process, from your office, to secure shredding site and back again to our central depots.

Liveried trucks with satellite tracking

We operate a fleet of various sized vehicles; Luton vans, 7.5t trucks. 18t trucks and curtain siders. The majority of our fleet, with the exception of the curtain siders, have tail lifts to ease in the delivery of secure shredding/confidential waste bins.

No delivery or collection is too large or too small.

The vehicles that make up our fleet are all liveried with our logo and branding, so you will never be in doubt who is collecting your secure shredding/confidential waste bins.

All of our vehicles are satellite tracked and it is possible to see where they have been at any given time of day.

Our tracking system refreshes every 30 seconds, so we get up to the minute information on where our trucks are.

All of our vehicles have immobilisers fitted.

Our entire fleet conforms to FORS standards.

Uniformed and security checked staff

Our staff all wear branded uniform.

Their uniform also includes; safety shoes/boots, hi-vis vests and all staff have access to full PPE at all times.

All staff who carry out the delivery and collections of secure shredding/confidential waste bins are security vetted and passed through the Disclosure Scotland [https://www.mygov.scot/disclosure-types/] process.

All staff carry on their person a security card which has the following information:

Name
Photo
Depot based in
Job title
Staff number

These details can all be checked against a database held at Pluscrates head office.

The addition of security cards adds to the peace of mind we offer all of our customers. They allow you, the customer, to know who is handling your data and be able to check authenticity by simply picking up the phone and speaking to a member of the head office staff.

Experienced staff

As a company, we have over ten years’ experience in point to point delivery and collection. Our staff are all experienced in this type of delivery and spend the majority of their working time in and out of offices.

We offer a point to point delivery service on all of our secure shredding/confidential waste bin services. We will deliver the bin directly to the required space in your office and collect it from there also, no need to bring it down to the loading bay.

If you are using the bins for a site clearance or annual clear out of document storage, we will deliver directly to the floor, room or storage container not just to the entrance. We can also collect them from here negating the need to move them to the entrance/loading bay yourself.

Transportability

Our bins are designed to be easy to use. They sport and handle at the rear and a set of wheels. So if you are moving your office around or need access to a point obscured by the secure shredding/confidential waste bin, then you can simply roll it to a different part of your office.

When placed squarely on the floor, these bins will not roll about and will only move when you require them to.

That being said, they are large enough to hold 20,000 sheets of paper and if someone you do not recognise as one of our staff were to try and remove the bin, they would not do so without drawing a considerable amount of attention to themselves. This is a major plus point over some of the smaller and more discreet confidential waste bins on the market.
