Confidential waste
If you are able to shred your confidential waste using a cross-cutting shredder then the paper can be placed in the usual paper recycling bins.
Any confidential material that you are unable to shred (e.g. too great a volume), can be dealt with using special confidential waste bags. Contact your Senior Janitor to receive these bags. Please then arrange an uplift by logging onto the Estates Helpdesk and completing a works request.
Please note that these bags should not be filled to the top, as they are then too heavy to carry. If you cannot lift the bag with one hand, it is too full, and the content should be divided between two or more bags.
If you would like to witness your waste being shredded, this can be arranged.
Shredding paper uses more energy and staff time than paper placed directly in the recycling bins. Please therefore ensure that the confidential waste bags are used for CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL ONLY.
