Dang, I couldn't afford to feed that one.

[StoopTroup]

Oh....that kind of shredder

Fellowes Powershred DM-12C 12-Sheet Cross-cut Shredder is great for me. Checked Amazon and it was no longer in stock. Maybe Fellowes has a new similar model.

Here's a good shredder.....

One website likes the Fellowes Powershred W-11C. Apparently, the only way you can purchase it is online.

Bass-o-Matic makes a good one too for those that love a fish smoothie.

Well, it depends on what you need to shred. Here are a couple:

or, for something lighter

http://www.fellowes.com/fellowes/site/products/ProductDetails.aspx?Id=3231001 about $150

Just go to this site and determine what you need:

You should probably buy a shredder today.

I get a heck of a lot of credit card applications in the mail.
A bunch for Visa, quite a few from Mastercard and tons of them from American Express.

I almost always tear credit card applications in half and throw them away.

Sometimes, if I am feeling particularly paranoid, I'll tear them into little bitty pieces.

Is that good enough? Could a determined and dexterous criminal gather all the bits, tape them together and apply for a credit card in my name? Would a credit card company balk when confronted with an obviously resurrected application?

"Dumpster Diving" has been around for quite awhile, too, but up until recently it was confined to detectives, private investigators, and occasionally industrial espionage (like trying to find out who your competitors clients are). Most Americans don't realize that once you throw something in your trash and put it out to the curb for pickup, you don't have any "expectation to privacy", even though there are sound legal arguments otherwise.

There is a fairly simple fix for this, though. Keep a paper shredder or "burn bag" next your desk, and use it on mail that has your personal information, like bank statements, credit card statements, utility bills, or letters from bill collectors.

I burn all my paper trash. Like white people should.

[StoopTroup]

Soon we'll be able to burn money for warmth. :D

[yermom]

now who's paranoid? :D

[soonercruiser]

Had good luck with "Fellows".
By one that will eat credit cards; that way you are good to go for thick paper.

Some of us live in the city you f'ing hillbilly. We can't burn our trash. The methheads will sift through our trash. We ain't paranoid....we are reacting to what has happened to us and/or our friends. The Crime Rate ain't getting lower right now....lol

Ask Homey why he's got a Conceal Carry?

They have not banned open trash burning in Oklahoma yet?

[Midtowner]

Fellowes, top 'o the line. Anything else tends to get jammed up eventually. If it's a huge bulk job like old files in a law office [been there], contract it out.

I'm pretty sure it's banned inside the city limits of towns. I don't know about unincorporated areas.

[C&CDean]

No, trash burning is not banned. I use all of our paper/plastic/etc. trash to light the massive brushpiles I have. We burn all our old water bottles, newspapers, shoes, clothes, bills, mail, garden hoses, wooden fences posts, and anything else that is flammable in our brushpiles. I do not burn in a barrell like some of my neighbors. That **** stinks.

[diegosooner]

I've had a couple - one at home and one at the office. They were around $50 each. They both overheated from too much schredding at one time. So maybe a more expensive one is better for high volume, not sure.

[SGA]

I thought this thread was going to be about KFC shredders

[Whet]

So, these brush piles, are they scattered across your property, or do you maintain one location you burn?
