With our costs being so competitive, we often find that potential new customers would like to start to use our services immediately, however when they speak with their existing supplier, they are unknowingly tied into a contract. A lot of other shredding companies will auto renew your contract so what was initially a 3 year contract, will turn into a 6 year one, unless you provide 3 months’ notice prior to your contract expiry date. All this happens without even contacting you for your approval!
At Highlander, we promise to contact each of one of our customers at your contract renewal and personally discuss the renewal with you!
We will always help and guide you as much as we can when you are speaking with your existing supplier to end your contract, and depending upon the terms and your cancellation fee, we may be able to assist with buying you out of your old contract so that you can start using our services quicker.

“We have used Highlander International recycling for a couple of years now (at least twice a month they supply very large secure containers for our staff to fill) and have always found their staff to be friendly, professional and always happy to help no matter what the question. More so, we have found their systems and processes to be secure and confidential to meet all our confidential destruction needs. In our line of work, we must ensure our customer's paperwork/data is secure at all times, from the point we collect it, to scanning and digitise on to archive storage/scan on demand and then finally secure and confidential destruction. We decided to change suppliers a couple of years ago due to price rises and looked at several similar businesses. Highlander offered us a site visit to their premises which we found to be very secure and met our needs as well as our client's strict confidential requirements. Financially, we found them to be the best in the market. We would have no hesitation in recommending their confidential destruction service.”
