Isn’t recycling the same as document destruction?
While recycling ultimately results in the destruction of your documents through the pulping process at a paper mill, sensitive documents may be available for anyone in a recycling facility or paper mill to see. Different recycling companies have different approaches to their operations, transportation, and hiring practices, not all of which may offer the best possible security for your documents. If document security and proof of destruction is an absolute requirement, specify shredding to ensure destruction. Shredded paper winds up going through the recycling process, so the environmental benefits of recycling are retained.
