You lose a certain amount of security when you send the paper to a recycler.
• Your confidential information is often hand sorted (graded) by recycling company personnel, which means they could take whatever information they want, such as patient information or tax returns.
• Recycling services may use open collection containers, accessible to anyone, staff, janitors, etc.
• The employees of recycling service companies are generally not screened, bonded and insured
• Your paper is transported in the trucks in whole form, so that if an accident should occur, your confidential information is open to the public.
