I've spent most of the day like a politician who just got their hand caught in the cookie jar, discarding old files. I have for some time used a shredder to discard anything with personal information on it about myself or my customers and clients. What are you doing? Are you making sure that your clients and customers information is secure, even as you discard it?
There are several different ways to handle this sort of thing. I like to shred everything myself. This can be admittedly tedious but at least I know it's done. You can also use services out there that will put a large bin at your office and service it on a regulare basis by putting in a new bin then taking the old one off site to shred all the documents contained within.
Whatever you do, make sure that you maintain the confidence entrusted to you by your customers and clients by ensuring that all their information is safe, even in the trash.
