Shredding is the process of destroying confidential or sensitive documents or materials into small pieces to prevent unauthorised access or misuse.

Shredding is important to protect sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands and to comply with privacy laws and regulations.

Any documents containing personal, financial, or sensitive information such as bank statements, tax documents, medical records, and legal papers should be shredded.

On-site shredding involves a mobile shredding truck coming to your location to shred documents, while off-site shredding means documents are collected and transported to a shredding facility.

When considering the total load in a bin wheel for documents, several factors must be taken into account to ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance with service requirements:

Dimensions – Weights – Standards Nominal v
Volume: 240 litres
Net weight: approx 13 kg
Affordable load capacity: 50Kg
Maximum Load Capacity: 75 kg
Permitted Total Weight: 90 kg (including the weight of the bin)
Height: 1060 mm
Width: 990 mm
Depth: 730 mm

To estimate the weight of paper in a bin, you can use the following formula:

Total Weight (kg) =Volume (liters) × Density (kg/liter)
Example Calculation:
Estimate Density:

For loose office paper, the density is approximately 0.208 kg/liter.
Calculate Maximum Load for a 240-liter Bin:

Total Weight = 240 liters × 0.208 kg/liter = 49.92 kg

The maximum load for a 240-liter bin for shredding documents is 90 kg, but for practical purposes, it’s advisable to keep the load between 50-70 kg to ensure safe handling and compliance with service guidelines.

Reasons for Load Limits:
Safety: Overloading bins can make them difficult to move and increase the risk of injury to those handling the bins.
Equipment Limitations: Bins and their wheels are designed to support a specific maximum weight. Exceeding this limit can damage the bins and the collection equipment.
Collection Efficiency: Service providers need to handle and empty the bins efficiently. Overloaded bins can slow down this process and increase operational costs.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring bins are not overloaded helps comply with workplace safety regulations.
