I'm having a clear out and have about ten year's worth of various
statements to get rid of, a 4" stack. My cheap shredder can just about
manage three sheets. I mean, how hard can it be?

So what's good and cheap? No, I can't burn them.

Texet from Tesco and others.... £15 cross cut and credit cards .......

We had one, packed in after a year or so. Horribly slow, overheats and the bin needs emptying after every ten sheets or so (tip - don't empty into your recycling bin on a windy day). Now I just take it into work and shove it in our secure disposal bin. If I ever get tracked down by the management I'll be able to point out that it can't be that bloody secure.

Some companies check their secure disposal bins daily. It is a
requirement to ensure that higher security documents are not placed in
the bins, but are shredded by the individuals, as the shredding
companies are not cleared for higher level documents.

One selection of documents at one place I worked had documents that when
no longer needed had to be shredded, while that was witnessed and the
destruction recorded as having been done and witnessed in the document
records book.


The contractor that does our stuff actually has a shredder in their van, I think one of our security bods has to watch them process it.
