How to Destroy Documents

Title: How to Destroy Documents
Published: 09/22/2022
Thank you for checking out our video.
In this quick video, we’ll show you how to destroy sensitive documents without a shredder. We have a crosscut paper shredder but I’m always looking for alternative ways to do things.
Our crosscut shredder is noisy and takes a lot of time, especially when shredding full-sized documents. Most of the time it can only handle about 3-5 pages at a time.
We’ve also tried burning documents which can take time and depending on surrounding conditions, can be risky. Also with the recent drought experienced in some areas, not really a good idea to have a document fire.
As an alternative, try pulping the documents.
Place documents in large bucket or trash can and fill with water and let soak for a day or more if possible. Then take a paint mixer, drywall mud mixer or garden auger and attach to drill and mix until destroyed.
Let the pulp mix dry and recycle or compost.

The paper needed to be ripped up pretty good and it took about 2 weeks to be soft enough to use my big drill with my drywall mixer to get through the tote of paper. Once was enough. It was 100% effective for security but a PIA to do. Using an old charcoal grill every month or so now.

We tend to agree. We burned before, but too many burn bans.
