Has your shredding piled up?

29 January 2010 | Comments [0] »

Shredding is so important. I’m often shocked when I meet new clients to learn that they don’t own a shredder. They think tearing up sensitive documents is sufficient. Then I’ll share with them a little experiment done on one of the morning shows that a client told me about. They took a credit card offer and tore it up. Then they taped it back together, photocopied it, filled it out and got the credit card. To me, that’s proof enough that shredding is essential. Identity theft is too devastating to mess with.

Shredder lust

Inspired by this thread on Unclutterer, particularly the great comments, I lingered in the shredder section of Office Depot yesterday. I found one I liked (but don’t need) but it’s not available online, so I can’t show it to you.

But check out this nice-looking Black and Decker shredder-, which was recommended by a commenter in the Unclutterer entry (and called “sexy” by other commenters).
