The folks at Boulder Community Hospital seem baffled on how to protect their patients private information. First they had them sitting in unlocked bins outside and they were stolen. Now they have them in locked bins outside and ran stories in the newspaper to let every identity thief in town know which bins to take.
Most hospitals have a locked bin at every station and a shredding service that comes by on a regular schedule to handle the shredding. That keeps the paper secure until it is shredded and saves money from paying employees to do the work on under-sized shredders. A shredding service also provides the documentation needed for HIPAA compliance.
