Destruction of Non-Confidential Records
Recycling is the preferred method of destruction for non-confidential
records. Non-confidential records do not need to be shredded before
recycling. Other methods of destroying non-confidential records
are:
- Pulping or burning
- General disposal (commercial trash removal, bulk disposal, use of local landfills)
- Erasure or re-recording over magnetic media, audio, or video media.
Methods other than burning records and depositing them
in landfills are preferable.
