Home Paper Shredders

In today's society, protecting one's identity has become paramount. With identity theft increasing at 15% annually, it's quickly becoming the leader in financially based crimes. While there are many different ways that criminals try to acquire your personal information, the tradional "dumpster diving" method is still a favorite. A simple way to help combat this issue involves using a home paper shredder to destroy all confidential data that is thrown out.

Shredding your confidential documents is your best security measure against prying people who are after your personal information and use them in their best interests. It's really one of the most effective methods to reduce the chances of your identity being compromised.

Since identity theft has been on the rise, the cost of shredders has dramatically gone down. High end shredders that cost $250 three years ago, are now selling for less for than half that price. Shredders today are using advanced technology and design that crosscuts the paper to the point where it's unrecoverable. If you receive a considerable amount of bulk mail of a confidential nature (pre-approved credit cards, free credit reports, etc.) get too overwhelming, you might consider investing in a heavy-duty paper shredder that will handle a large volume of paper in a single pass.

From a pricing standpoint, shredders are available in a range of prices from $25 all the way to $1000+. The cost is generally dependent on the shredding capacity, motor power, and advanced features. The more expensive models can handle a larger number of sheets in a single cut and may even shred objects such as credit cards and CD's.
