PS: A secret to shredding personal/sensitive info, is to shred some stuff that is not important too.. and mix it all together. If anyone is crazy enough to try to piece together shredded stuff.. shredding useless paper and junkmail(w/o personal info) ends up frustrating dumpster divers who might spend a lot of effort and reassemble something completely worthless to them.[/quote]
Uco: Or purchase a good quality cross-cut shredder, which eliminates said problem entirely. Unlike strip shredders, a good cross-cut will completely shred (meaning both vertically and horizontally), thus preventing anyone from re-assembling the output.
I agree with your “better safe than sorry” approach, too. Too many shitbirds out there and having a good plan in place will save a lot of heartache.
