It's just this simple: you feed all your papers into a tray. The tray feeds into a scanner. The scanner checks for sensitive information (such as address, credit card info, social security number, etc.) and seperates the papers into two groups. The non-sensitive papers are ejected into a bin to be recycled. The sensitive ones continue on to the shredder. How about it?

My take on a version of this that sits beneath your letterbox - the crowd seemed to take some convincing back then, which is fair enough - I still think it's a good idea though. [zen_tom, Sep 28 2009]

Why the distinction between shredding and recycling? Can't you recycle shredded paper?

// is it just me or is everyone here old, senile and random?//

I would guess something inbetween those two extremes.
