Paper that you don't want others to read, especially when it's curbside for garbage pickup day? Here's what I mean: Bills, medical and financial statements and records, personal correspondence and photos, etc. I have a desktop and floor crosscut (confetti) shredders, and I use either one for the size of what I'm getting rid of.

No, I just tear them up into little pieces. I should get a shredder but I'm just too lazy to go out and buy one.

I have a shredder that I use all the time. I'm kinda paranoid about that whole identity theft thing, so I shred my credit card statements and mail. I also get at least two credit card applications a day, so those go in the shredder too.

If you don'thave one, get one.

Same here. If it weren't for those stupid things, I wouldn't have the overflow of bags of shredded paper.

Though I keep all my credit card statements.

I tear, but I really hate those credit card applications. What I do with those is stick a piece of junk paper in the return envelope and mail it back to the company. At least then they get charged the postage again. Now I notice some of them have warning labels that say dont put dangerous stuff in here or you may be prosecuted.

:lol: All those damn offers is probably why my interest rate is almost 18%. That and all those damn transfer checks. They could save millions on postage alone.
