Even envelopes with the post office bar across the bottom go into the shredder. Everything that has any information goes into the shredder and then it goes to be recycled with other paper. It is kept inside my house until I dispose of it away from the house at the recycle bin place.

I would put a big sign on the next bag to go out. perhaps....Everthing in this bag has been shredded, so don't bother....or a sign that says "If you want to check my trash, that is what you are"....or Bag Contents sprayed with urine.
If you think these signs are despicable, that is what these relatives are. Terrible.

I live in a big city...so no burn barrels allowed...but that doesn't mean that I can't add some important papers to our lovely fires in the cold weather. I use credit card applications as kindling. They burn very nice.

I shred everything using a crosscut shredder. The shreds go under the chicken roost and then eventually to the compost pile. The only exception is the window envelopes, the windows just don't decompose in my compost pile.
