Blue/White Shredding Program

The IRC, in conjunction with the Office of Physical Plant (OPP) Recycling and Waste Management program, shreds sensitive and confidential records and media, including:

  • Financial records
  • Student records
  • Health-related information
  • Employee Personnel files
  • Anything that contains Personal Identification Information (PII)
  • Anything that contains information classified as Moderate (Level 2) or above by Policy AD95 Information Assurance and IT Security

NOTE: We do not shred mixed office material, which often includes personal mail and documents.

If you are new to the program and would like to have a shredding bin delivered to your location, please email RecordsManagement@psu.edu.

If you would like to have an existing bin picked up and replaced, a Work Order must be entered by reaching out to your Facilities Coordinator who can enter a Work Order for you using Maximo. Please provide them with the number and size of the bins you would like to be picked up, the room number and building name, and your contact information.

There is a fee for each bin pick-up: a large bin (64-gallon) costs $65; a small bin (32-gallon) costs $30.
