At the bank where I used to work, everyone was asked to separate paper from the rest of their trash. The paper was shipped to a paper mill where it went straight into the pulping machine.
This was the non-secure trash. If something was routinely confidential (like customer records) it was separated and then picked up by employees, who retained it in a secure area till they had a truck load and then personally delivered it to the paper mill and maintained a chain of custody with it till it was destroyed. And if you really had a secret, you shredded it before having it picked up and escorted to the paper mill. - MCC At 09:03 AM 3/1/02 -0500, you wrote: >Hi Peter, > >On Fri, 1 Mar 2002 04:10:23 EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Well, I considered shredding but there are a great many staples in our > > paperwork.
