CONFIDENTIAL waste disposal has given
Richmondshire District Council another opportunity to do its bit
for the environment.
The Council's confidential waste is taken away and securely
shredded by document destruction company Shred-it. But after that,
the company turns the destroyed documents into recycled paper
products.
In 2007, more than 150 secure containers of confidential
documents from Richmondshire District Council were shredded –
which, through recycling, saved the equivalent of 79 trees.
Bill Glover, Richmondshire District Council's Member Champion
for Procurement and Sustainability, said: "Confidential document
destruction is an essential practice for a modern organisation –
but it's nice to know that along the way we're doing our bit to
help the environment too."
