Confidential Waste Collection FAQs
Confidential waste consists of confidential documents such as letters containing names, addresses, bank information and any form of sensitive information about a business or individual.
We accept most types of confidential waste, including personnel documents and health records. For more information about the types of confidential waste we accept, contact us.
We will collect shredded confidential documents and will transport them to our recycling facilities.
A professional can shred confidential waste both on-site or off-site at a legal designated point and then send the shredded waste materials off to be recycled.
A hard drive must be removed from the PC or server as well as any casing before it can be destroyed. Many businesses have a policy on the destruction of hard drives and we advise to seek an accredited specialist to destroy any hard drives.
Not only is adopting a secure method of confidential waste disposal a legal requirement but carelessly disposing of confidential documents can allow for unauthorised access to sensitive information that could seriously harm your company.
