Wow, here we are at the end of the month! April fool's seems like it was just yesterday.
Recently, a local bank advertised free secure shredding and e-waste dropoff for a day. They were introducing the opening of their new state of the art branch. I met the branch manager and entered a $1000 draw (why not?). For years, I've been collecting my receipts without having a plan for disposing of them, so this was the perfect opportunity! They assured me the bags would be locked in the their special bins and transported to their secure shredding site. This was a good thing. How do you dispose of your secure documents?

I'm terrible. I have an electric shredder but rarely use it anymore. It just takes too long to shred so I just tear papers up with my hands and dump them in a black garbage bag.
ReplyDeleteI just tear out around the address and name by hands into tiny pieces! The rest of the paper goes into the recycle pile for my church.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gigi and Icy, a friend of mine says she does the same thing. I guess the idea is not to let these receipts pile up!
ReplyDeleteAs long as I keep on top of it, it's not a big deal to use my personal shredder.
ReplyDeleteI shred and burn everything myself....I have some bags to get to soon!!! hope you win that money Christine!!!! good luck!!!
ReplyDeletehmmm, i keep receipts and then cut them into small pieces or just just throw in the trash - i need to get a shredder!
ReplyDeleteWe've been shredding our documents in a crosscut paper shredder. It's scary these days.
ReplyDeleteFireplace!
ReplyDeleteI have a shredder. It's our second and I think it may be on its last leg. Or shred. I just walk over and shred each day's mail or each time I pay a paper bill. I have few paper bills, though, as most is sent electronically. I no longer get paper bank statements, either. It's all in the cloud.
