only ones handling your material for shredding.
– Remove metal clips and take documents out of 3-ringed binders and plastic
folders (staples and little paper clips are fine);
– File folders are fine as long as there are no metal hangers, metal clips, or non-

– Place them in a file box (or a bag / tote) and bring them over for handling and
eventual shredding.
