Used Home Shred UK when parents died. Price based on per bag very impressed with their service.

I've never bought a porn mag. I used to find loads of them in a near by twitten.

I’m afraid the missus is a bit naive, she thought you and all those other blokes that turned up were from the AA. She got the car started eventually once she mastered the best way to use the tools on offer.

We use Shred It. But I think all these companies are pretty similar. It's easy and good value. ignore staples.

Don't try and burn it. It takes way way longer than you think and big blocks of paper don't burn, they just go out.

I burned all mine on 5th November 2020. I figured this was more environmentally friendly than what I would normally be doing on the 5th.

As a rule, I've mostly found fire to be equally effective in 2021 as it was in 1978.

I successfully burnt my last shed down, and to be honest, it was the best afternoon I'd had since an unexpectedly exciting afternoon in CentreParcs.

I doubt a few wads of paperwork in a tin bin in the back garden would cause much of an issue.

Chuck it on the bbq and burn it all.

This is how I "dispose" of all my paper hoarding's greater than seven years old ...
Although cheque-book stubs would only smoulder and I couldn't imagine anything could shred them bar the band-saw at the local sawmill.

Remember, remember the 5th of November.

Burn it. I too had boxes and boxes of stuff. HMRC say you have to keep it for 5 years but as the years go on it's harder to get to the box from 20+ years ago.
During lockdown 1 I went in to the cupboard under the stairs to pull out all the boxes over 10 years old. Blimey what a fire!

Another vote for burning them here. To stop bits of paper flying about you can get a brazier with a lid for not very much money at all. We do it every couple of years and once the fire gets properly going you can get through a huge amount very quickly.

Pop in a couple of potatoes in foil, and that's supper sorted too.

A bucket, a bottle of hydrochloric acid, some gloves and goggles....job's a fish.
