Although opinions differ on exactly what to shred, basically know that you should:
- Gather up and shred any documents containing signatures, account numbers, social security numbers, credit information, and any legal or medical information (including tax forms, checks, pay stubs, etc.).
- Dispose of general mail, newspapers, catalogs, and flyers in your recycling cart. These items do not need to be shredded.
- Bring items you’d like to shred in paper bags or boxes.
- Do not bring any three-ring binders, plastics, trash, plastic bags or nonpaper items. These will be returned to you.
- Do not bring paper that is already shredded.
