Alternative to paper shredders

vantom67

My second paper shredder has died on me, infact it blew up in my face! I am fed up of spending money on something that isn't going to last. Does anyone know of other ways of disposing of letters, receipts etc? Can i wrip them up and put them into my compost bin?? Any ideas gratefully received.

Thanks.

Use them to wrap peelings etc, and compost them. It won't take long to be too soggy to read.

That's what I do. The worms shred it for me!

Is it only me who thought to eat them I should get off this diet:eek:

Only joking I compost them:D

I bought scissors with 2 sets of 5 blades a couple of millimeters apart. Aching thumbs if you have a lot to shred!
