What is confidential shredding?
Confidential shredding is the process of destroying sensitive or confidential documents, files, or materials in a way that ensures their complete destruction and prevents unauthorised access or retrieval of the information they contain. This is typically done using shredders that cut the paper into small pieces or particles, making it virtually impossible to reconstruct the original documents.
Confidential shredding is often used by businesses and organisations to protect sensitive information such as financial records, legal documents, personal data, and other sensitive materials from falling into the wrong hands. This can be particularly important for companies that handle confidential information on behalf of clients, such as banks, law firms, healthcare providers, and government agencies.
In some cases, confidential shredding may also be required by law, such as for documents containing personal information covered under privacy regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

What documents can be destroyed?
When considering what confidential paperwork can be destroyed, it's important to adhere to legal, organisational, and personal guidelines. In general, documents that are no longer needed for legal, financial, or compliance reasons, or whose retention period has expired, may be eligible for destruction. Here's a list of typical documents that can often be destroyed once their retention periods are up:
1. Personal Financial Documents:
Bank Statements: Keep for one year unless needed for tax or legal purposes. Credit Card Statements: Retain for one year unless they contain tax-related expenses. Utility Bills: Retain for a year unless needed for proof of payment or tax purposes. ATM Receipts: Can be shredded once reconciled with bank statements.
2. Tax-Related Documents:
Tax Returns: Keep for at least seven years (IRS recommends keeping them for at least three to seven years, depending on the type of document and the possibility of audits). Tax Payment Receipts: Destroy after seven years.
3. Employment and Payroll Records:
Employee Pay Stubs: Keep for one year. Employment Contracts: Retain for the duration of employment and a few years after. W-2 and 1099 Forms: Retain for at least seven years. Resumes and Job Applications: Can often be destroyed after the hiring decision is finalized unless needed for compliance purposes.
4. Medical and Insurance Documents:
Medical Records: Personal medical records should be kept indefinitely for personal use, but outdated or irrelevant information can be destroyed. Health Insurance Policies: Can be destroyed once they are updated or replaced. Medical Bills: Keep until the bill is paid, unless tax-deductible.
5. Business and Legal Documents:
Contracts: Keep until they are no longer legally relevant (i.e., after the statute of -limitations for any legal actions).
Invoices: Keep for 3-7 years for tax or audit purposes. Expired Insurance Policies: Retain until all claims and disputes are settled.
Legal Correspondence: Can be destroyed once it is no longer legally required (typically after the statute of limitations).
