Paper

Use a shredder. Crosscut is preferred over a strip shredder. 

Disposal of paper records containing Private or Confidential  information should be accomplished by crosscut (or better) shredding, placement in a locked document destruction bin, or through vendor-supplied services under a contract approved by RIT Procurement Services.

CD, DVD, diskette, etc.

Use the media shredder (located at the RIT Service Center, 7B-1113).

Hard Drives

If the hard drive is to be reused, contact your support organization for recommendations for secure erasure.

If the hard drive is damaged or will not be reused, render the hard drive unreadable by using the degausser (located at the RIT Service Center, 7B-1113). Note, that Solid State Drives (SSds) may not be sufficiently disrupted by the degausser.

Tapes

Use the degausser (located at the RIT Service Center, 7B-1113).

Other

Use an industry standard means of secure disposal.
