There are a number of different types of shredders you may want to consider using to destroy your data effectively. A popular choice is the cross-cut shredder, which offers a minimum of Level 3/P-4 security. This makes it ideal for destroying names, dates of births, addresses, and bank statements held on optical media. These shredders cut the CDs lengthways before the blades cut across, making the pieces smaller and more difficult to retrieve data from.

FAQs
What is the best way to destroy CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs?
Deleting information from an optical media disc does not permanently delete it. The most effective way to prevent this data from being retrieved is to completely destroy the disc. While there are many ways to do this, shredding the disc in an optical media shredder gives the best results.
What level of security shredder do you need for CD destruction?
For CD destruction, experts recommend using a minimum Level 3/P-4 security level shredder. This is designed to destroy information on optical media securely. However, some organizations may choose a Level 4/P-5 or higher to get a smaller shred.
Why is breaking the CD not enough to destroy the data?
Hackers and thieves can still access information on broken discs. Shredding the disc to make the pieces smaller makes it harder for potential hackers to retrieve the information, keeping your sensitive information safe.
Why is shredding a DVD better than burning it?
Burning a DVD may seem like a more efficient way to destroy the optical media itself, but this can be harmful. It will release toxic fumes into the air and presents a serious hazard. DVD shredders have been specifically designed to destroy the data, so opt for the safer method.
