Is it safe to throw any office papers away? The downtown Macy’s in St Louis must be asking that question today. Last fall they made the news for leaving personal information in a dumpster that was found blowing down the street. They went though the apologies and promises to do better.

Today more personal information was found in their dumpster. They said it was only one piece but it is impossible to know how much that should be shredded isn’t. Now they say the solution is just lids for their trash cans.

This is a good example of why so many document destruction program cover the shredding of every piece of paper. If one piece of paper can cause so much damage to a companies reputation it isn’t worth the risk
