Protect client files, confidential legal documents and old IT equipment with secure data destruction across Central Manchester, South Manchester and Cheshire.
From conveyancing and family law to litigation, wills and probate, solicitors handle sensitive client information every day. Case files, copies of ID, financial documents and confidential correspondence can build up in filing cabinets, archive boxes and on old devices.
When records are no longer needed and have been approved for disposal, they still need to be handled securely.
STE Waste helps solicitors, conveyancers and legal practices safely dispose of confidential paperwork, archive files and data-bearing IT equipment, supporting your firm’s data protection responsibilities.

STE Waste can help solicitors and legal practices securely destroy records approved for disposal and data-bearing equipment, including:
Check retention periods before you shred. There is no single retention period for every legal file. Timescales depend on the type of case, legal obligations, client arrangements and potential claims. Original wills, deeds and some other documents may need to be retained separately or for longer. Check your firm’s retention policy and any hold on destruction before approving disposal.
The duty of confidentiality continues after a client’s matter ends. See SRA guidance on client confidentiality and ICO guidance on data retention.
Deleting files or resetting a device does not always securely erase the data. STE Waste can help arrange secure destruction of hard drives and storage media that are no longer needed.
STE Waste brings secure on-site shredding directly to your firm’s premises, helping reduce the risk of confidential documents being misplaced, mixed with general waste or left unsecured before destruction.
We support solicitors, conveyancers and organisations across Wilmslow, Macclesfield, Alderley Edge, Prestbury, Poynton, Cheadle, Stockport, Central Manchester, South Manchester and Cheshire.
With over 30 years’ experience and ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001 accreditations, STE Waste provides a professional, local service that makes secure disposal simple to manage and easy to evidence.
