Disposing of personal documents

I have loads of papers that will take far too long to shred, and will probably kill my shredder. Any suggestions?

I might just get a garden incinerator and burn them.

Nothing says “Dodgy” quite like a man stood in his back garden burning official looking documents in brazier. 😉

Eat them?

There’s been a thread on here exactly the same before I think, worth a search.

I heard you had to destroy them with a sledge hammer?

(& LOL @ mW 😉 )

Hahaha very true muppet

I usually barbeque mine.

Put them in a bag with a dog poo, ensuring nobody will open it.

Chuck them in a bin in Parliament Square. That’s how MP’s get rid of stuff.

You would need the services of Monsieur Mange Tout to help you out there!

kill them with water

Kill with fire. How I do it.

Soak in water and compress into briquettes, allow to dry then toast your tootsies on the resulting warm fire.

FFS and there was me thinking that this was a forum, a place where a free exchange of ideas is welcomed and people can dip their toes in a deep pool of knowledge and experience. Obviously not.

A) I do not currently have the facility to burn the documents, and therefore I will need to buy said incinerator.
B) There are companies who do shredding of sensitive materials, but I suspect that this is only economic with high volumes of material. However, it does suggest that there may be other options.
C) Once I have got rid of the backlog I have at the moment, I can go back to using my shredder, and therefore this will essentially be a one-off exercise.

I didn’t realise that this was such an unreasonable query that it only warrants sarcastic and rude responses.

One of the few advantages of being a pasty-faced cubicle-dwelling desk jockey is that there are shredding bins at work for dumping all your crap in.

What about a splendid papier mache sculpture?
