Your rubbish can sometimes reveal more about your home than you realise.
Large boxes, discarded documents, medication labels or packaging can give away information about purchases, household routines or personal details.
Before putting items out:
• Tear up or remove labels containing personal information.
• Break down boxes rather than leaving them intact.
• Avoid putting sensitive documents straight into the bin.
• Be mindful of packaging that advertises expensive purchases.
What leaves your property can sometimes tell people more than you intended.
