Metalco Ltd

Business Overview

Shredding services in Malta need to do two things well. They must destroy material properly, and they must respect the fact that the paper is private. Metalco Ltd, based in Luqa, offers shredding of confidential documents and of mattresses. The company has operated since 1988 as an offshoot of Fenech & Cremona. This page explains the service and how to prepare for it.

Document Shredding is the main service on this listing. Metalco uses its own facilities and powerful machines to deal with large volumes. Paper Shredding covers old files, forms, reports and other paperwork that has reached the end of its useful life. Destroying outdated or unneeded paperwork is a task that many offices put off. It is often easier to do in one go.

Metalco can also remove documents from client archives. The material is then transported to Metalco's facilities for destruction. This suits offices with boxes of old records Read Morethat they no longer want to store. It saves staff from spending days feeding paper through a small desk shredder.

Metalco shreds mattresses too. Bulky items like mattresses are awkward to move and hard to dispose of. Shredding is one way of dealing with them. If you have mattresses to clear, ask the team how to arrange it. You can raise paper and mattresses in the same conversation.

Paper often holds more than people realise. Names, addresses, account details and signatures can all appear on a single page. Throwing documents away whole can be risky, because anyone can read them. Shredding makes the content unreadable. That is why confidential material deserves proper destruction instead of the general rubbish bin.

Before a shredding job, decide what can be destroyed. Many organisations have their own rules on how long to keep records. Some records must be kept for legal, tax or audit reasons. Check your own retention policy before you destroy anything. If you are unsure, ask the person who is responsible for your data.

A little organisation saves time on the day. Sort the boxes by department or by year. Remove any file that you still need. Label the boxes clearly so that nothing is mixed up. Keep a simple list of what is going, so that you have a record of what was destroyed and when.

Ask questions before you choose a shredding provider. How will the documents be collected? Where will they be shredded? How will confidentiality be handled at each step? Can the company deal with your volume? Can a time be arranged that suits your office? Ask the team to explain the steps in plain terms.

Any office that holds client records has a reason to think about this. Accountants, clinics, law firms, schools and small businesses all collect personal details over the years. Old paperwork builds up in cupboards and storerooms. Clearing it in a planned way frees up space. It also reduces the risk that something private ends up in the wrong hands.

Metalco's own history helps to explain its approach. The business traces back to a scrap recycling operation that began in the years after the First World War. That early company, the Malta Scrap Iron and Metal Company, exported hides, glass and metals to Italy. In 1963, Fenech & Cremona was established. Metalco followed as an offshoot and has operated since 1988.

Today Metalco is best known for recycling. It handles ferrous and non ferrous scrap, including copper, brass, lead and aluminium. It aims to be a leading producer and exporter of recycled scrap, and it uses modern methods to get there. It also runs an environmentally friendly waste facility. Shredding sits alongside this work as a second strand of the business.

That mix can be useful when you are clearing premises. A move or a refurbishment often leaves you with paper, old furniture and metal items all at once. You can ask Metalco about shredding services in Malta and about metal recycling in the same enquiry. Dealing with one company can keep the process simpler.

Think about how you will handle the paper in the days before shredding. Keep boxes in a locked room if you can. Limit access to the people who need it. Do not leave sensitive papers in an open area. A little care before the job helps to protect the material until it is destroyed.

Think also about how you will explain the project to your team. Tell staff what is being cleared and when. Ask them to check their desks and cupboards before the date. Late discoveries are common, and a short reminder helps to catch them. A clear plan keeps the work calm and the results tidy.
