I firmly believe that nothing should be sent to storage without being
classified according to the retention schedule. If the department refuses
to classify it correctly, then they should trip over it in their own office
until they do. If they need help, so be it, but don't let this storage
monster get away from you untamed.
As Jim says, your procedures should outline the procedure in such a way as
to make it very simple.
