Getting rid of confidential documents isn\u2019t just about throwing them in the rubbish. If you\u2019re having a clean out and find old company records or personal papers, taking the right steps beforehand is essential for making the shredding process easier and safer for everyone. Here\u2019s a simple guide to help you get your documents ready for shredding.<\/p>\n

Identify What Needs Shredded<\/h3>\n

Before using our Edinburgh-based document shredding services and across Scotland, it is very important to go through your documents to figure out what needs destroyed for certain and what needs to be recycled. Always shred financial records like bank statements, tax returns, investment papers and loan applications. Hospital records including insurance info as well as prescriptions and notes from your doctor also have personal information that need to be securely disposed of.<\/p>\n

Legal documents such as contracts, leases and court papers should be shredded too, to keep people that are not permitted access from looking at them. Don\u2019t forget about business files, employee records, payroll info and invoices, these records under any circumstance should not be tossed away recklessly. Even junk mail that has personal info, like pre-approved credit card offers and account statements, can be a threat to security and should be shredded immediately. If a document has personal details, account numbers or confidential business information, it definitely shouldn\u2019t end up in the bin.<\/p>\n

Sort and Categorise<\/h3>\n

To make shredding easier, it\u2019s a good idea to sort personal and business documents so you can figure out what needs to be shredded first. Don\u2019t forget to look over your document retention policies, since some papers like tax records have to be kept for a certain amount of time before you\u2019re able to rid of these documents. For any non-sensitive records like magazines and newspapers, put those straight into the recycling waste instead of shredding them.<\/p>\n

Remove Certain Materials<\/h3>\n

Most document shredding services can handle staples and small paper clips, but some materials should be taken away to prevent damage to shredding machinery. Items such as plastic folders, binders, laminated sheets and rubber bands should be discarded and separated. Staples and small paper clips can typically remain where they are, as shredders are designed to process them without any issues. Taking these extra steps prevents delays and ensures smoother shredding.<\/p>\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n
