LKAI said I would

My mother has a shred pile the size of the UK!
I said I would shred it all for her, so I now own the shred pile!
I don’t mind shredding everything, that isn’t the issue!
Our shredder is, after around 3 mins it cuts out and jams. Meaning you have to leav it for half an hour and then spend half an hour unblocking it!
I will get it done!!! 3 years ago

bananapancakespaper and CDs

I had this bag full of paper and CDs that kept increasing and I’ve been meaning to shred it for a while now. Finally started shredding it today after I bought some black markers (I like to black out the personal information too). Today was also the first time I shredded CDs. I thought that it was going to shred into pieces like the paper, but the shredder just put hundreds of dots all over the CDs. Shredding didn’t take as long as I expected, but I still need to remember to just shred what I want to immediately, so that it won’t pile up again. In the end, I have less clutter and some marker ink on my hands and feet (I was sitting criss-cross apple sauce)... 5 years ago


deedeelady99I had some help.

My boyfriend actually finished my shred pile for me, but I haven’t accumulated another pile since then. I’ve been shredding two or three items as I go along instead of throwing eveything in a box and thinking I’ll deal with it later. 5 years ago


creatropeKeep an eye on 'community shred' events

Many cities have ‘community shreds’ where they sponsor a local reputable shredding company to park their mobile shredding truck in a parking lot. You bring a few banker-boxes full of papers and they shred them for free. Something to consider if your ‘to shred’ box of papers is more than your $50 shredder (or you) can handle.

Many of these places will also shred on their own site for some fee such as $25/100 lbs. At that price point they don’t generally do it ‘in front of you’, but if you do some research you can find one that is bonded and trustworthy.

lhamoFinished my shredding!

Finished my shredding at work this week (4-5 huge garbage sacks worth—I’m leaving my job in a couple of weeks), and got all my personal shredding done yesterday. I still have a few unfinished paperwork items to deal with, but now I can actually FIND them since I am not swimming around in paper!

Good feeling. Hopefully now I can stay on top of the paper and not let it accumulate this way again. 6 years ago


lhamoShredding really is addictive!

I’m shredding lots of old files at work (I’m leaving my job in a couple of weeks) and at home. really is an addictive thing. A little worried what I will do when I run out of things to shred…. 6 years ago


bwomjVictory at Last!!!!!!!!!!

It must be at least three years since I first started sorting through all my papers collected since childhood. Plenty of things went in the recycling … school and uni notes, leaflets, magazines. But there were also several feet of letters, emails, ideas, customer records, bank statements and various other bits and pieces I didn’t really want anyone else to see.

I have been shredding them slowly. The remainder have been moved around in crates between houses countless times. I didn’t want them all hanging over me when I move to Holland in june, so I’ve been stepping up the effort to get the shredding finished over the last few months. This morning’s concerted effort saw the last 8 inches destroyed!

Alas, poor Mr Shreddy died in action this morning after many years of faithful service. He will be remembered fondly. His replacement, The Bulldog, made light work of the rest of the stack and appears to be settling in well.

Now, if only I can keep shredding documents as soon as they are finished with, this will never happen again, ever. 6 years ago


Josh PetersenMy shred pile is gone - along with jugs of toxic waste

On a very psychedelic Friday with a flu/fever addled mind, I made a journey to South Seattle where I shredded all my papers and continued on to the transfer station to rid my basement of gallons of hazardous waste. So this goal is done – and I have a certificate of destruction to prove it. 6 years ago


LynourePart of the cleaning routine now

This is now part of my normal house cleaning: Shred papers, take papers (junkmail and shredded alike) to recycling. 6 years ago


chombolopaper shredding is fun

...so much fun, in fact, I may have to do it again. 6 years ago


Josh PetersenBigger than ever

This goal needs to move toward the top of my list. I spent part of the xmas holidays filing and organizing a gargantuan pile of paper that had accumulated in my wife’s office. I think in planning for the new baby, an increasing number of chores are headed my way. I took over cat feeding last month, and now filing (and soon bill paying). Anyway, I think this Friday I’ll either make a date with a shredding truck, or haul my enormous box down to the shredding plant. 6 years ago


new_mommieI shred everyday

{na na na na na!} No, really, I do shred everyday; but I probably just keep too much. However, the shredding-as-you-sort is a lifestyle change My Man and I HAVE been able to make. 6 years ago


Robert CottrellA failed end

After hauling out half a dozen large bags of shredded documents, my shredder must have decided it had worked hard enough. After a few turns of angrily creaking metal, the teeth stopped turning and the shredder was effectively no more.

I suppose that now I will have to continue this goal as “rip up everything in my former shred pile and hope that no thieves happen to be wandering by looking to steal someone’s identity because by then I will have moved away and probably be unable to do anything about it”. 6 years ago


Robert CottrellWhy didn't I start doing this earlier?

There’s really no reason I can think of to still keep random bank statements from 1999. Worse yet, photocopies of bank statements, amd maybe even some faxes of photocopies of bank statements. Tonight I hauled away three full bags of shredded documents. There’s still a long way to go, but my stash of papers has been significantly reduced. Good thing too, since I’ll need the filing space to keep track of my international adventures, which probably will require more extensive record keeping. 6 years ago


Maggieawesome.

I am mailing a giant box of paper to www.shipnshred.com for $22 including Fed-Ex shipping. I’m going to go drop the box off at Kinkos tonight. I probably should purchase a small personal shredder at some point so I can keep up with this stuff but for now it is totally worth paying $22 to avoid spending days and days shredding all the confidential documents I’ve accumulated during my adult life. :) So glad to get rid of all those big piles of papers! 6 years ago


Happy Phantom3 bags

Not bad. I’m glad I wasn’t the clean up crew last night. 6 years ago


Maggieoutsourced shredding?

Is there somewhere you can take your personal documents to be shredded for you? I have about eight years of bank statements that I really don’t want but they have my account number emblazoned on them so I am scared to put them in the trash.

I live in a small apartment and I hate trying to store lots of stupid GADGETS so I really don’t want to buy my own shredder. I’d rather outsource. But everything I’ve seen online and in the yellow pages is large-volume shredding for business.

Anyone know if there is service that will help me?

Thanks! 6 years ago
