Recycling is not secure document shredding!

Using a recycling bin to dispose of your paper records does not mean your private information is safe.

The best way to destroy confidential documents is to shred them.

You are still helping the environment, however the documents are securely disposed of first and then recycled.

The recycling bins are open containers easily accessible by anyone passing by the bins.

When you place confidential documents in a recycling bin you may have violated privacy laws. Simply putting them into a recycling bin is not taking reasonable steps to protect private information about your customers, suppliers, employees etc.

Document disposal bins on the other hand are lockable and hold any confidential documents securely until they are destroyed.
