Tips to protect your Identity in our Orange bag waste removal process.

Tips to protect your Identity in our Orange bag waste removal process.

by | Jul 3, 2024 | FNA Articles

Protecting your identity when putting out household waste can be important to prevent identity theft and privacy breaches.

Here are some tips to help safeguard your personal information:
1. Shred Documents

Before discarding any documents that contain personal information, such as bank statements, medical records, or bills, use a cross-cut shredder to destroy them.

2. Remove Labels
Peel off or black out labels on prescription bottles, packages, and mail that contain your name, address, or other identifying information.
3. Secure Trash Bags
Use opaque, sturdy trash bags to conceal the contents and prevent others from easily seeing what’s inside.
4. Avoid Putting Out Electronics
Properly dispose of electronics, such as old phones or computers, through e-waste recycling programs. These devices can contain sensitive data even if they appear to be broken or wiped.
5. Use a Lockable Bin
If possible, use a lockable trash bin to prevent others from rummaging through your trash.
6. Recycle Wisely
Be cautious about what you put in the recycling bin, especially items that might contain personal information. Shred paper items before recycling them.
7. Timing
Put your trash out as close to collection time as possible to minimize the time it spends at the curb.
8. Check for Local Guidelines
Some areas offer secure shredding services or have specific guidelines for disposing of sensitive documents and electronics.
By taking these precautions, you can help protect your identity and personal information from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. FNA stands for a safer and cleaner environment.
