How do you dispose your Credit Card Bills?

Tweet

Having Credit Cards is as common as having televisions at home and as expected we receive Statements of Account every month. Over time our bills pile up and like my colleagues at work we are now pressed with the same dilemma- how do we dispose of this old credit card bills? For security purposes, they say it is not wise to simply throw our credit card bills in our garbage bags as they contain details of our account and it might end up in the wrong hands (i read that while surfing the internet hehehe)... Now i accumulated six years worth of credit card bills from three credit card companies plus 8 years worth of bills from my mobile phones company. That's a lot of garbage and paper hehehe. We ended up buying a mini paper shredder and we got busy shredding those bills. At least they can be recycled and the risk of having them read or used by folks with "bad intentions" are now eliminated. The good thing is, one of our co worker is collecting the shredded paper for her artwork. :D I am curious about other folks out there who also have credit cards or postpaid mobile phone subscriptions. How do they get rid of their bills. After paying them, i used to keep them because there might be some need of it in the future. But I guess bills more than 3 years old should not be stored. They just add clutter and they consume space. LOL! How about you guys? Do you simply throw your bills? Please feel free to share your experience on this matter. Have a good day and happy mylotting!
