What Can I Put (Or Not Put) in a Shredding Bin?
Explains what office materials may or may not be placed in RMC's recurring secure shredding bins.
Describes RMC's recurring shredding program (Shredding On Site) and guidance about what to place in secure on-site shredding bins. RMC places secure shredding bins at your office so teams can fill them with paperwork to be shredded and recycled. Acceptable items listed include standard copier paper, file folders, envelopes (with windows), notepads, colored paper, sticky notes, card stock, manila interoffice folders, and stapled packets (no need to remove staples or paperclips). All shredded materials will be 100% recycled and there is no need to sort confidential versus non-confidential paper. Prohibited items include toy plastics, metals, glass, styrofoam, trash, food waste, cardboard boxes, and medical waste. The page explains that NO-GO items can damage machinery (including fires), prevent recycling, and be hazardous to Shredding On Site employees. Placement and security tips include avoiding break rooms/kitchens and keeping bins locked to improve compliance. The stated goal is to thoroughly and permanently destroy confidential information.
