Document disposal

[Rowley Birkin]

Hi All

I have been clearing out the office and have a few wine boxes full of documents, bank statements etc relating to a Ltd company I closed a few years ago. There are also some personal cheque book stubs. The paranoid me wants to have them shredded, the rational me says stick them in the recycling bin.

Is there really very much anyone would be able to do with the stuff once it's gone to the council landfill / recycling whatever?

Incinerator bin in the garden, some petrol, and a match.

Do it at night, sit around the fire drinking wine whilst making "ooh" and "ahh" noises as it all burns.

I shred mine, use it as bunny bedding and then burn it once the bunnies have finished with it ...

Do not use Petrol! Likely to end up as a Human Fireball!

If you are that worried there are companies who collect and shred for not unreasonable fees

dry paper will not need an accelerant ...

and if an accelerant is needed a less volatile one would be the choice ...

to be honest you are more likely to need some wood or something to ensure the burn lasts

I use petrol on bonfires all the time

Just get it lit quick before the vapours spread
