Shredding
I have a long history as a packrat. When I was a child I kept my pockets full of colored pens, rocks, rubber bands, etc. My school desks were full of papers, art work, etc. I just couldn't throw anything away. I'm reformed but I still had boxes of old papers cluttering my office and our attic: receipts, credit card statements, cancelled checks, medical statements, etc. Magazines, journals, etc. are easy recycle. Going through papers is tedious. Unneeded personal papers had to be shredded. Our old light-duty shredder wasn't up to the task; it kept overheating. So I bought a new one. It's designed for heavier usage. It's somewhat larger but faster and quieter. And it can shred CDs and plastic cards too. All those old CD backups can be quickly disposed as well. It's actually fun to reduce a box of old receipts into cross-cut confetti.
