Confidential Material Recycling
Beginning July 24th UT Recycles will no longer offer secured disposal for confidential material. Two other methods for disposal do exist on campus.
Records Management will pick up and recycle confidential material at a cost of $2/box.
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. 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 contact:
