Got a question? The answer might be here!
We have prepared strong and durable bags for you to fill and return to us. Each bag can hold up to 5kg of paper-based documents - this is equivalent to two reams (approximately 1,000 sheets) of A4 paper.
The interior of the bag has been specially coated with a security tint assuring contents cannot be read through a sealed bag - even when held up to the light.
$24.90 per bag which you send to us by placing your order securely online.
Place an order and we'll send you a Bag-N-Shred bag with a Parcel Post Returns label already attached - shipping is free!
You can also order your own print-at-home Parcel Post Returns label via the website to affix to a Bag-N-Shred bag you already have.
In your confidential shredding bag, you can include:
Purchase a Bag-N-Shred bag online that is ready to be filled and posted back to us. You should receive your bag complete with a Parcel Post Returns label affixed within 7 days.
We prepare a Certificate of Destruction for your Bag-N-Shred bag when we have securely destroyed your bag's contents. It is your confirmation that your bag has been safely and securely destroyed.
If you have a bag, but no label, contact us.
You will need one label per bag. When you have completed payment, your label(s) will be emailed to you within a few minutes.
You can then either:
Print and affix the label to the marked spot on your Bag-N-Shred bag.
OR
Present the email of the label at any Australia Post Office (either printed, or from your smartphone or tablet) and they will print and affix a label to your bag at no additional cost.
Bag-N-Shred Bags have an expiry of 12 months from the date of your order.
Yes, you can.
When you drop your bag at a Australia Post Office, you will receive a receipt from Australia Post which will include the Article ID. You can use the Article ID to track your package, either on our My Bags, or directly with Australia Post's Track an Item.
Your bag will be scanned and tracking of your parcel's journey to our secure facility will commence. Australia Post will give you a receipt that includes your Article ID. This can be entered on our My Bags page, or directly with Australia Post's Track an Item, where you can see updates of your parcel's journey.
Upon arrival at our facility, the contents of your bag will be securely and confidentially destroyed using our industrial-strength cross shredding process. The shredded material will be recycled into other paper-based products such as cardboard boxes, toilet paper, hand towels, kitty litter and more, and the Bag-N-Shred bag itself will be sent to a plastics recycler to also continue its life cycle.
Each Bag-N-Shred bag that you send to us will have its own Article ID printed on the Parcel Post Returns label, as well as the receipt that Australia Post give you when you lodge your satchel at a Post Office - make sure you hold on to your receipt.
Your Article ID can be used above to check the status of your Bag-N-Shred bag on its shredding journey. When your bag has been destroyed, you can download a Certificate of Destruction.
You can also use your Article ID on the Australia Post Track and Item website for more detailed information on your bag's journey in the Australia Post network until it reaches our secure facility.
If you do not have a record of your Article ID, you can retrieve it from My Bags.
If you have any questions regarding the information provided by Australia Post's tracking system, please contact Australia Post directly.

Yes! In fact, that's why we first started Bag-N-Shred, we're here to help build a more sustainable environment. We send 100% of all our shredded paper to a local recycler where your waste paper is transformed into other paper products such as cardboard boxes, toilet paper, hand towels, kitty litter... and more! Recycling paper reduces the requirement for the use of virgin materials in the manufacturing of many new paper products.
Choose Bag-N-Shred and be an active participant in sustainable development. It's simply the right thing to do!
