I can remember many, many years ago when my Dad disposed of old tax documents. He just threw them in the trash.
The only redeeming factor was that we lived in the country and burned all of our paper trash.
But, have you ever known anyone to just toss a confidential document in the trash? What is considered “confidential“?
Here are some examples of what you should consider confidential…
- Anything with your Social Security number on it
- Anything with a credit card number on it
- Anything that is a credit application
- Anything with user accounts and passwords
- Anything with bank account numbers
Tip: Purchase a cross-cut shredder and shred confidential documents.
This will help to protect you from identity theft, or someone using your credit to make purchases.
Make you life easier. Shred those documents!
