No matter how much or little you earn you’re at risk of having your identity stolen. More and more often these days identity thieves are finding victims by going through trash and dumpster diving to find bank statements, credit card offers, and other documents with personal information.

To discourage the most determined identity thief you have to use a confetti/cross-cutting shredder which make it too time consuming to piece back together the document.

Reliable confetti/cross-cutting shredders typically cost over $100 but the Fellowes Powershred P-57Cs Shredder has been getting great reviews and comes in under $50.00. It’s able to shred up to 8 sheets at a time and can even take care of standard letter and legal-sized documents with staples and credit cards. A 5 gallon waste basket is also included.

If you’re going to be shredding hundreds of documents per day you’ll need something heavier duty like the Fellowes 32177 Powershred PS-77Cs Shredder which is designed for up to 600 sheets per day.
