Confidential or personal information

Please make sure you dispose of confidential or personal information, such as bills or bank statements, responsibly.

If you do have waste that contains personal information, it's recommended you shred it before throwing it away.

Shredded paper should be put in a small carboard box or paper envelope and placed in your recycling (blue) bag.

You can also put small amounts of shredded or sections of paper into your home compost bin if you use one in your garden.
