Uniform & Product Destruction
Uniforms are a branding tool that identifies employees and promotes the company as being reliable and trustworthy.
Improper uniform disposal poses a security risk, as lost or stolen uniforms could be used for misrepresentation or fraudulent activities.
The destruction of obsolete uniforms and branded merchandise, rather than just throwing them away, helps to prevent misuse and promotes brand responsibility.
Our machines at DGD Shredding can destroy a wide variety of materials including clothing and we can issue a Certificate of Destruction upon completion.
Examples of what we can destroy
- Branded Hard Hats
- Hats and Headwear
- Embroidered Uniforms
- High Visibility Clothing
- Footwear
- ID Cards/Badges
- Obsolete products
- Security Uniforms
