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.


Thanks for watching!
