How to dispose of discards

Routine records may be disposed of in the College's standard recycling bins according to College policies http://www.williams.edu/admin/facilities/custodial/recycle.php.

Records that contain information of a personal or sensitive nature require confidential destruction.  These may include, but are not limited to:

·        any records that contain personal information such as birth dates, social security numbers, bank account numbers or other financial information

·        student academic records and grades

·        faculty and staff personnel records

·        candidate files for searches

In addition, the college has placed access restrictions on records of various offices.  If you are discarding duplicates of this type of material, they also require confidential destruction:

·        Non-published Board of Trustee material less than 50 years old

·        Alumni development information

Confidential destruction is available from the Center for Ecological Technology (CET) in Pittsfield.  Contact Jamie Cahilanne at CET: 413.445.4556 x14, 800.238.1221 x14, jamiec@cetonline.org.  CET will deliver to you a 90-gallon lockable bin that, when filled, is picked up for special recycling, a process that involves shredding, bleaching and pulping.
