trikster Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 This may sound like a dumb situation/question, but just hear me out. I usually have a LOT of paper around my computer (as do most heavy computer users). Usually these papers are used for taking notes, but sometimes they consist of stuff I printed out that I don't need anymore, old homework, etc. I have a problem with disposing this paper. I used to just throw it out, but I've noticed that the way the paper goes into the trash can makes it difficult to put a bunch of papers in there quickly. So what would you suggest as the best way to get rid of all this paper? I looked into paper shredders, which might help me out. Think it's worth buying a shredder?

trikster Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 It's usually not important paper, just junk. I guess I could start a recycling box or something...it's just that there's not enough room around my desk area to put it. That's why a shredder sounded like a nice idea at first - small and compact, but can hold a lot of paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadearth Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 BURN it? Hah, my mom's a school teacher and she had be burn some paper for her one time. We're talking about file cabinets full. We had a big fire and everything, but the stacks of paper would not burn well. They were stacked together too much and just the outside of each stack would burn. I had a pitch fork and had to try to shuffle everything around. It was a lot harder than you'd think. But this doesn't seem like it's that much.

humcheepeng Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 1. Drag them to the Recycle Bin on the desktop. 2. Right-click the Recycle Bin icon, and click on "Empty Recycle Bin" 3. You saved some poor tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
