Paper Shredding

Paper shredding is an important part of protecting yourself against identity theft. I highly recommend shredding papers containing sensitive information on a regular basis.

Below you'll find a complete guide on shredding paper...

• a list of what papers to shred
• product recommendations for shredders
• a customized search so you can locate community shred events

Enjoy!

Paper Shred Lists
For a very awesome and complete list of what papers to shred and what not to shred, check out Unclutterer.com's Paper Shredding List.

As a good rule of thumb, I shred any discards that contain:

account number
social security number
date of birth
driver's license number
medical information
passwords


Locate Community Shred Events
Use the below customized search to find community paper shredding events in your area! In the search box, type in the name of your county or city and then "community shred" or "community shred event" or any similar variation (i.e. "Montgomery County Community Shred").
