EcoNote: Save Money and Time with Data Destruction Bins from R.O.C.K.S.

From the Campus Sustainability Council: Confidential data destruction bins are available from the Recycling Office. Many are already located in your building’s recycling area, and mini locked containers are also available. It is an easy, quick, and safe way to manage your confidential data — no more standing over a hot shredder slowly feeding paper in piece by piece!

Please try to limit materials to confidential data only. It may not always be convenient to find another recycling container, but the minimum charge for a container to be shredded is $35. The less non-confidential material we put in, the better our bottom line. In addition, please try to avoid putting in rubber-band wrapped papers, large metal clips, or plastic of any kind — including folder covers. Paper only, please! Staples and small amounts of paper clips are fine. This material is dumped directly from the bin into a huge shredder. The undesirable materials damage the equipment, but also the recycling value of the shredded paper is severely diminished if plastic gets in the mix.
