I am going to do this right now.
I have so many pieces of mail to shred.
It has to be done.
I fill a big plastic container as I get them and then shred them about once a month.
I also have boxes from products delivered to take the labels off and shred those too.
This complex has a number of suspects that steal your ID, so it is vital to do this.
They go through the dumpsters and trash here.
Do you shred your stuff?

@RebeccasFarm I'm fortunate to have sisters who love their brother so much.

That's good, but it hurts your hands does it to have to cut a lot of stuff?

@RebeccasFarm No I just cut each piece when I receive it. Not a lot at a time.

Sure do! My shredder gets a workout every so often. So much mail and other paperwork accumulates in such a short time. Quite a bit junk mail offers from banks for credit cards and stuff like that.

I do not put recyclables in the trash. I gave it to an old neighbor. But I don't shred papers. Should I do that?

Well I do, so that no one can steal identity.

I usually shred annually, usually late winter or early spring.
I just finished the shredding last weekend.
It is thrown into the garbage over the course of over a month because I also worry about someone going through the garbage or it being knocked over and scattered everywhere.

I would have a mountain to shred if I waited a year..I really should do it as it comes..would save me sitting for an hour doing it.
