Confidential Material Recycling
As of July 2006, UT Recycles will no longer offer confidential material recycling.
Two other methods for disposal DO exist on campus:
Records Management will pick up and recycle confidential material at a cost of $2.50 per box. Call 974-6328 or email rmrequests@tennessee.edu. They usually pick it up the same day or the following day.
“Shred-It” Disposal
The State currently has a contract (SWC No.121)
with Shred-It to shred onsite all confidential material. Shred-It
provides a 95- or 35-gallon container and empties the contents on a
scheduled basis (as often as weekly, or as infrequently as every 8
weeks). Shred-It moves the container from the department outside to
the shred truck where material is shredded. Documents are shredded
to a size of 1/8 by 1/8 (the standard required by DOE). Shred-It
then returns the container to the department with an invoice and a
certificate of destruction. Departments will be responsible for
covering all shredding costs ($25 for emptying a 95-gallon container
and $10 for emptying a 35-gallon container). Shred-It assumes full
liability for secured documents when material is removed from the
building. For more information Shred-It at 671-8488.
