Highlander Security Shredding

Being based close to Glasgow, we are very sensitive to the subject of fires this week with the tragedy that unfolded on Sunday in the city centre and all the small businesses affected, as well as the devastation of the beautiful historic building on Union Street. Let's Recycle have just published an interesting article linked below which is a stark warning of the dramatic increase in fire risk over recent years due to a massive increase in battery operated products and devices. There was a staggering 71% increase in fires within the waste industry in 2023/2024 figures - 1200 reported fires in the waste sector alone! We often find batteries within shredding bags but please remember to dispose of batteries in the correct manner via an accredited battery waste disposal route at all times.

A Guernsey resident was fined £11,500 after accidentally disposing of batteries in household waste.

As today is World Earth Day, we want to highlight all the things that we do as a company to help the environment:

1. We are a member of the ECO Stars Fleet Recognition Scheme, which is a scheme that aims to help fleet operators improve efficiency, reduce fuel consumption & emissions.

2. We use Highlander Security Shredding , Scotland’s largest independent paper recycling company who recycle 100% of our shredded paper which then gets sent to UK mills to be repulped and made into new paper and tissue products.

3. We encourage reusable bottles use and provide water stations where possible instead of bottled water to reduce single use plastic.

4. We are members of Business Energy Scotland, which supports businesses in supporting going green and tackling climate change.

5. We encourage staff to carpool when working events and put on transport where possible to try and cut down our carbon footprint.

Did you know that Security Scotland aim to be an eco-friendly company?

We take as many steps as we can to be as environmentally neutral as possible. One way we do this is by making sure that we recycle. Not only at our head office, but also operationally, encouraging everyone to bring reusable bottles where possible, recycle and to use any eco facilities provided by our clients.

Not only do we get rid of waste securely, but we ensure that the company we use for this is fully committed to Saving the Planet. We use Highlander Security Shredding, Scotland’s largest independent paper recycling company who recycle 100% of our shredded paper which then gets sent to UK mills to be repulped and made into new paper and tissue products.

To show our support for Global Recycling Day today, see our Security Scotland Eco poster. Feel free to print this put this up in your office to support recycling too!
