Remember to use blue bins to dispose of confidential waste

3 March 2023

Please make sure you understand all your responsibilities when it comes to keeping information safe and secure.


You must dispose of information and personal data securely. Always use our blue confidential waste bins and never use general paper recycling bins.

The council and its employees are under a duty to protect personal data and this duty starts when information is first created and continues until it is destroyed. You should be able to find a blue bin in your office space, if you’re unsure please ask your line manager.

Please play your part in keeping our personal data safe and secure, never take a risk, if in doubt use the blue bin!
