Proper Disposal of Used Credit Cards?

Over the years I have had several credit cards and saved them after their expiration date not knowing how to properly dispose them. How do I safely dispose of over 50 used credit cards?

I cut them up with kitchen scissors and put them in the trash. Don't burn them. Plastic puts off toxic fumes.

I also cut them up in small pieces. However, I cut across through my name and the account number, then I throw them out but split the pieces over a couple of garbage cans in the house.

We use our paper shredder. It has a little slot for cards in addition to the wider one for paper.
