Non-confidential documents can be recycled without being shredded and should be disposed of accordingly by the departments at each of the buildings on campus.

The Central Storeroom shredder is not a confidential shredder. Confidential shredding must be outsourced.  

Please follow this procedure when you have documents that need to be shredded by the Central Storeroom:

Sensitive Documents

Documents to be Shredded

  • Sensitive documents only (all others can be recycled at your department/building).
  • All documents must be paper clip and binder clip-free (staples are acceptable).
  • All documents must be removed from folders and binders.
    • Folders can be recycled at your department location.
    • Binders should be disposed of accordingly; if they are in good shape and you no longer need the binder(s), they can be sent to surplus for reissue.

Getting the Documents to Robertshaw

  • All documents must be placed in boxes to be transported to the Central Storeroom.
    • Paper in plastic garbage bags WILL NOT be accepted!
    • Boxes must be of manageable size, such as copy paper boxes, storage boxes, or small to medium moving boxes.
    • Place a "SHRED" note on the box.
    • If you need boxes, please enter a work order to have boxes delivered to you:
      • Number of boxes
      • Unloading point (where do you want them delivered)
      • Direct work order to warehouse within Asset Essentials
  • Once boxes/documents are ready, please enter a work order for the warehouse to have them picked up:
    • Number of boxes
    • Pickup location (where are the boxes located)
    • Confirm on the WO that these documents are to be shredded
