On the Eleventh Shred of Christmas my client gave to me…..

……Eleven Travel Brochures

……Ten School Clear-outs

……Nine Legal Folders

…..Eight branded jackets

……Seven Pop-up Banners

……Six Tonnes of Paper

……Five Storage Bins

…..Four calling cards

…..Three Year Ends

…..two purple books

….And a hard drive from a PC!

If you are anything like this blog writer, January will involve time spent dreaming of summer sun.  So if you pick up travel brochures, make sure you put them into the confidential waste sack instead of the normal bin……..even though the paper from brochures is coated, it is still recyclable and can still be added to normal paper for shredding and producing paper towels.

This is my favourite line of the carol.  Why?  Well this blog writer (female) was a maid-a-milking in junior school and I absolutely loved my costume, frilly hat and apron.  Happy days!

Today seems to be Christmas Party day for many firms, so if you are looking at your Linked In before heading off to your meal, have a great Christmas Party!  For just this occasion we have posted a Christmas photo from us, wearing our branded jackets (like the segue?!) and wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Branded product destruction is as important as paper when it comes to confidential waste management.  We can collect pull-up banners and destroy these in the same way as we can collect paper.  And all the metal parts that can’t be shredded go to metal recycling, in line with our 0% landfill policy. 

It’s at this part of the carol that singers start mixing up the lyrics……not us! I’m even trying to persuade everyone to do a recorded version……although that isn’t being greeted with universal agreement just yet……maybe next year?!

On the Sixth Shred of Christmas my client gave to me……

This lyric was provided by Lucy, 16, who took her earphones off for a minute to contribute to our project.  And it’s a good one, not only because it fits to the music, but also because it’s such a core part of our business.  In November alone we did huge clear-outs for four businesses; we took our mobile shredding lorry onto two sites and were able to shred there and then, and when access and site traffic was too busy, we took our lovely Taclus vans along, loaded them up and took the paper back to Taclus HQ to shred.  Both ways, the customer was able to get rid of large volumes of confidential waste in a secure way for an excellent price. 

If you have large volumes of paper to get rid of, contact us.

On the Fifth Shred of Christmas my client gave to me…..

……FIVE STORAGE BINS!!!!!

…..Four calling cards

…..Three Year Ends

…..two purple books

….And a hard drive from a PC!

C’mon!  The best line yet!  And everybody’s favourite line in the carol when you can really sing your heart out!

Whilst many of our customers have consoles in the office that match their office furniture, we can also provide outdoor, lockable bins for large volumes of confidential waste.  And that doesn’t just mean paper.  We have a couple of customers that use these bins for disposable clothing which we collect weekly. 

So, as you are humming this song today, consider whether your firm would benefit from large storage bins as well as your inside consoles….and if the answer is yes, contact us and we’ll get you kitted out.

On the Fourth Shred of Christmas my client gave to me…….

The best line yet?  Yup, contributed by Megan….but just wait for Five…..she made that one up too!

At this time of year, people often decide to spend a day de-toxing the office.  This activity enables people to be productive and efficient without having to use 100% of their brain power – perfect for the Christmas season.  So if you are rooting through your desk and you find piles of unused business cards (or calling cards), or headed paper etc, remember that these branded products contain confidential information and could result in a data breach.  Don’t bin it, put it in your confidential waste bag or console…….if you don’t have one?  Contact us….we pride ourselves on excellent customer service and can confidently say we are the best shredding company in Wales and the South West!

This lyric from Dave again (who over-ruled Three French Dictionaries, which this blog writer thought was much better).

For many businesses the end of the tax year can result in stacks of confidential financial information piled up in back rooms and storage areas. After the required retention periods have passed, these boxes of files could leave you vulnerable to a security breach.

A new financial year is a perfect time for businesses and individuals to review their paperwork from the previous year and decide whether documents need to be stored or destroyed. Any documents that are no longer required, must be securely disposed of and documents that are needed can either be stored at the office, digitally or off-site in secure storage.

We have several accountancy firm customers with some lovely testimonials to read about the value we have been able to add to their business.

“On the First Shred of Christmas my client gave to me….a hard drive from a PC”

Taclus is a family firm and these lyrics really have been a group effort.  Number 1 comes from Dave, the boss. 

Confidential waste isn’t just about shredding paper, we shred hard drives, CDs and DVDs too.  Only physical destruction is 100% effective and complies with WEEE disposal regulations.

And what about the song itself?  It was first published in 1780 and is traditionally about the twelve days of Christmas BEGINNING on Christmas Day.  This has morphed into a song for the run up to Christmas now and we have butchered it even more here……I can’t promise we’ll be singing it round the piano, but I’ve definitely been humming it in my head for a week!

If you have been thinking about employing a shredding service, but haven’t quite got round to it yet, now is an excellent time of year to sort it out…..then you can start the new year in an organised and efficient way….what’s not to love?! Contact us now for a quote.
