Lockable Shredding Bins — FAQ
A lockable shredding bin (also called a locked security bin or confidential waste console) is a purpose-built container with a tamper-proof lock and a narrow paper slot. Documents can be inserted easily but cannot be removed without the key. They keep sensitive paperwork secure until a professional shredding company collects and destroys the contents.
While legislation does not always name “lockable bins” specifically, the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act require organisations to take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access. Using lockable shredding bins is a practical and widely accepted way to demonstrate due diligence before destruction.
Most offices use the 240-litre lockable bin (holds roughly 6 archive boxes). Smaller teams or lower volumes may prefer 120-litre bins. Front-of-house or open-plan areas often choose discreet office consoles. Call us on 1800 757 000 if you’d like a recommendation based on your paper volume.
It depends on how much confidential paper you generate. We offer flexible schedules — weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off collections. Many businesses start with a 2- or 4-week hire and then move to a regular schedule once they know their volume.
Paper documents containing sensitive or personal information — contracts, statements, tax records, customer/patient files, invoices, etc. Please do not put cardboard, arch-lever folders, plastic sleeves, magazines, photo paper, newspapers, bulldog clips, hard covers or coloured manila folders in the bin (contamination fees may apply).
