The Data Protection Act says that you can't mix any confidential wastes in with your general wastes. This includes waste paper and data on any other format that has any details of a personal nature to either your business or the people who work there.
Keeping your customer and employee information secure isn’t just good business sense it’s the law, and if you don't comply, you risk serious fines and penalties. This is because you could be putting your business and your people at risk of identity theft.
