Shred Only Personal Information

When shredding paper you only have to shred the parts with your personal info. Recycle the rest or use the blank side as scrap paper.

I shred any junk paper that isn't shiny or doesn't have lot's of ink, then I use the shredded paper in my compost bin, or mix it with shredded leaves and grow potatoes in it, or use as mulch that can be tilled into the garden at the end of the season. Hey, waste not...and it's really good compost!

I don't even trash anything with my name, I shred it. And one needs to be very careful with documents from financial institutions.

Some of the stuff is generic/copies sent to everyone but whenever looking at all the pages you may find account number, SS number, etc.

On shredding papers, I use a shredder. Sometimes, the shredder runs hot. Then, I have wait for it to cool. The other option is to use a pair of scissors. If you have the money and have lots of paper with sensitive information, you can go to an office supply store. They charge by the pound. Also, the best idea, is to take it to the bank when they have the free shredding for the community. They put it in a big commercial shredder, and you stand and watch the paper being shredded.
