Disposal of sensitive and personal documents


Recommended Posts

If it's going to be a regular thing, why not buy a shredder?

You can destroy documents when you feel like. You don't have to take the documents anywhere. You witness their destruction, and It would be better for the environment.

I think it will be to that. Have previously seen a home shredder for sale in a shop here but cant remember where it was. Any idea where they most likely can have a stock of this things?

Office works on basement level at Central has many of them. From small desk ones to ones with a bin attached.

Get a cross-cutting shredder, almost impossible to piece it all back together again. Ribbon (straight) shredder not so good.

Spend a bit more and get one that cuts DVDs / credit cards / CDs etc. and does more than 3 pages at a time (cheap one will take you forever)

i have had a few shredders over the years - the cheap er ones have a limited life as they burn out . I now have a commercial one and apart from being quieter and quicker it can shred for 20 minutes plus without the overload switch activating.. I shred all my paper and cardboard not just business papers as it is much easier to dispose of paper in a shredded form. Cross-cut shredders are the way to go. I use the most of the shredded paper as compost and mulch in the garden rather than burning it .

If you are unable to find a place to burn the documents, then filling a bucket with either water or ethanol and placing the documents in for a day, might do the trick.
