What is Confidential Waste?
Confidential waste refers to any type of information or material that contains sensitive or private information that needs to be protected from unauthorised access or disclosure.
This can include documents, files, records, digital media, or physical items that contain personal, financial, legal, or other confidential information. It's vital that confidential waste is handled and disposed of securely to prevent data breaches, identity theft, or other forms of unauthorised access that could potentially harm individuals or organisations.
Here are some examples of the type of confidential waste we securely destroy and recycle every single day.
- Employee Records
- Sales Data
- Payroll Information
- Patient Health Records
- Accounting Data
- Customer Information
- Payment Details
