Shredder capable of handling padded envelopes?

googler

Seperate front and back of padded envelope by gripping each at the open end and pulling apart. Use back for insulation, padding other outgoing mail, or whatever.

Get down to Hobbycraft or similar, get a few Swann-Morton surgical blades along with a matching handle.

This will take the address portion of the label out with four swift strokes. Far quicker than scissors, but mind your fingers.

Slice this up with a few more strokes. Does it matter if the order details remain elsewhere, if the address is removed?

What type of dog is that ?
My daughter would love one of those

Hi Andy,
I believe it's a Maltese dog pup.

Or get a hamster, those little blighters can shred stuff at an alarming rate and are cheaper to feed than a dog.

And as a bonus they still work in a power cut.

Until the bubblewrap kills them (fairly rapidly apparently)...:D

Seriously though, please don't give printed paper (of any type) to gerbils, hamsters, etc - the ink disagrees with their digestive systems.

Absolutely correct!

As an aside, if there is a lot of shredded paper, which I do have occasionally after shredding for the Group:

I box it all, compress it until I can get no more in the cardboard box, then seal it and bin it in the Recycle bin.

I suspect this may not be the case for all councils.
My local council would not take shredded paper if in the recycling, because it caused problems by dropping through and clogging the sorting belt.

Apparently most shredded paper is too small to be reused for making recycled paper. You start to wonder exactly what can be recycled...

The box is then compressed in one piece by the bin machine.
