Avena’s service agreement gives us the confidence that we are compiling with Data Protection.

“Avena’s confidential shredding service for our business is carried out in a professional manner and causes no disruption to the working day. We have a monthly collection and at two sites. The consoles are provided free of charge as part of the service. They are smart and have a wood effect. These don’t look at all out of place in our offices and they certainly look much better than the previous plastic bins. The monthly service works well for us and the Avena collection team works quickly to empty the console in a secure manner. Their service gives us the confidence that we comply with Data Protection they provide us with a certificate of destruction. They also remove unwanted paper from our office in a sustainable way.”

I would recommend the Avena systems for both confidential and non-confidential waste.

“Life Fitness have now used the Avena waste paper consoles for several months. In that time we have noticed a vast difference in office tidiness and safety. This is due to the waste being contained in enclosed consoles and not littering parts of the office. In short, I would recommend the Avena systems for both confidential and non-confidential waste.”

Avena have provided Severnside Safety with a confidential and sustainable recycling service for over 12 months.

“Working with Avena as our recycling partner allows us, a PPE and safety workwear distributor, to offer a unique service which we would otherwise be unable to do in-house. It continues to successfully bring in new enquiries and attract prospects to our business, while Avena handles all aspects of the recycling enquiry direct with the customer – it’s honestly the perfect set up for a small company such as ourselves. Everyone is extremely helpful, professional and out to get the best result for all parties. We are kept up-to-date with a monthly report and are also provided with marketing support such as a digital poster to send to clients. Would highly recommend Avena as eco services such as this become more important and sought after.”
