Knew there was more, I’ve also ordered some bags for shredding paperwork, I have quite a lot to go including all my divorce stuff (mostly meeting minutes, drafts and bills, have kept the official docs of course)

Our recycling collections by the council take shredded paper....but I know not all councils do.

Found a company that will deliver bags for shredding then take them away again, £8/bag. Google domestic shredding services for something in your area. There’s just too much for my small domestic shredder!

This is the one I’ve used. I found everything from £8/bag up to about £50 for a slightly larger load. Lots of removal companies had similar services. Some will even come to your house. data-shredding.co.uk |

I compost paper shreddings, but we don't generate that sort of quantity.

I’ve just got rid of 3-4 years worth of various bills and statements and four large files of divorce paperwork! I think I’d break my shredder, they’re temperamental things at the best of times!

Our local council don't take shredded paper so like Vrap, I feed it into the compost bin. Not four files like Meglet, but I did go through one binder marked as 'useful information'. No prizes for guessing most of it wasn't at all useful and has been thrown into the recycling bin. |

You can often put shredded paper in your normal bin, not your recycling bin. Or give it to a hamster. |

Mr Kath has just retired as a solicitor, and generated oodles of paper over the years, in addition to being a hoarder. He has just completed a mammoth shredding task, and drip-fed the council recycling teams on a fortnightly basis. I eat my words, as I never thought he would do it. Proud of him.🙂
