This makes the third story in two days about personal information in the dumpster. This time it is the Navy. Once again they left the job to a low level person with a shredder only to find them take a short cut and just dump them. The documents found include birth certificate copies, social security numbers and drug tests.

The two options for a paper shredding plan should be a shredding service that provides a document of destruction or scheduling someone to shred and an officer or manager observing the entire process. It is obvious the first option is much more cost effective.
