The Wall Street Journal reviews small shredders
Anjali Athavaley has a review of 5 home paper shredders on page D3 of the Thursday Wall Street Journal.
The cheapest one that will eat CDs is the Royal Desktop Crosscut Shredder, $50 from royal.com. As with most of them, the opening is small enough that you have to fold paper to fit before you shred it. The cheapest that will take a full size piece of paper unfolded is the Staples Mailmate M3, for $80.
Is it pure paranoia to worry about whether someone might rifle through your recycling bins looking for sensitive information? Well, my neighborhood has been hit by mail thefts, presumably by identity thieves, and someone who steals your recyclables instead of your mail can get almost as much information without risking a Federal prosecution.
