I used to try to keep up with disposing of my documents. The IRS mandate is to keep 5 years of documents. I keep 6, for a cushion. For some reason I got really behind and have documents from 2004 and more recently that need shredding. I had a small shredder that used to cut out after a few minutes. That would have been fine, if I had one or a few documents a week to shred. But I do not. I do not know why, but I have a large amount of documents to shred every week. And, I have a large amount of old documents to shred, in addition to the documents I should shred weekly. With the electronic age, it seems we use more paper, than less.
My old shredder was a diamond cut shredder. My current shredder makes little pills of the documents (that is kind of neat.)
Today, I did a lot of shredding of current documents that needed shredding, and documents from 2004. I am on vacation this coming week, and one of my plans is to sort and shred documents from 2004 to 2011.
