What, really? That's like saying "I don't bother locking my front door
because if some scrote comes in and helps themselves they're breaking

If you really want it disposed of, set fire to it. You can stock up for
months then have one big go a few times a year. Far more fun, and you
have the chore less often. A steel bin (like they used to use before
wheelybins) with some air vents drilled in it lets the paper smoulder
for a nice time without bits of burnt paper flying about the garden.

Yep, I've given up on the shredder - far too slow - and incineration is
what I now do myself
