The Paperop Advantage

Office Cleanout & Bulk Shredding

Relocating or downsizing your corporate office? Do not leave confidential files behind. Our complete office cleanout service ensures that decades of accumulated paperwork are securely sorted, boxed, and removed.

We separate vital records for archival from obsolete documents slated for POPIA-compliant bulk shredding, providing an unbroken chain of custody and a legal certificate of destruction upon completion.

The Challenge of Office Closures and Relocations

When a business closes a branch, relocates offices, or acquires another company, the document archive left behind becomes an immediate liability. Without a structured approach, businesses face three bad options: pay to move tonnes of paper to the new location, leave files behind in the vacated premises, or dump them in a skip — which is an immediate POPIA violation.

Paperop's Office Cleanout service provides a complete solution. Our team arrives with the personnel, packaging materials, transport, and scanning equipment needed to process an entire office archive in a single engagement.

What's Included in an Office Cleanout

Pre-cleanout archive audit: We review all document categories and determine what must be retained, what can be digitized, and what can be immediately destroyed.
On-site scanning of active records: Documents that must be retained are scanned on-site to create a digital archive before the physical items are moved or destroyed.
Secure off-site shredding: Documents past their retention period are loaded into tamper-evident containers and taken to our shredding facility — with a Certificate of Destruction issued the same day.
Physical archive boxing and relocation: Records that must be retained physically are professionally boxed, barcoded, and transported to our off-site storage facility.
Post-cleanout certificate: A full handover report detailing every document batch processed — what was digitized, what was stored, and what was destroyed.
