EMCID is having a shred event soon.
 
@PLBurr : May 12 for that, so probably too late for OP even tho closer than that amazing resource @TexasOma found. Handy for locals tho!

I'm wondering when spring heavy trash day will be; doesn't seem to have been announced yet. 4951

I have a tall kitchen bag (plastic bag) full of shredded bits from our shredder. Now what do I do with them? I'm thinking about dumping a quart or so of water into the bag and hoping it gets mushy, then putting it into our regular garbage. What do the rest of you with shredders do with the shreds? 4951

I live in Montgomery County. We can burn. I have a bunch of stuff on my burn pile already, so bring a twelve pack and your paper and we'll make it a party!
 
@TheWizard :
 
When the HOA Nazis are walking around I throw it in the fireplace. 4951

@HappyHerself : Some paper recycling places will take it (in bags) but I don't know if either the Kingwood dropoff or the school bins do. Anyone else know?
 
My current plan for the small amount I generate is to try it in a compost pile - it'd be a pretty small percentage vs. e.g., leaves. Internet seems slightly mixed on this but mostly on the "pro" side, at quick recent glance.
 
A friend up north heated his garage project work area with "shredding" one winter, in wood burning stove. 4951

@TheWizard : I appreciate your generous offer, thanks, but no . I've been trying for years to keep dd#1 from creating a burn pile and then burning it. She has 15 acres and can't make a pit or trough for old wood and paper and cardboard? Over time it would go back to soil.
 
jjapt mentioned composting hers. I might try that myself. I created a fairly large landscape bed around two large trees in our backyard. Edged it with bricks. It slopes away from the house . I've been adding organic matter to it for several years and this year am growing collards and kale and sweet potatoes in the top third or so of that bed. The lower third of that bed gets flood water after heavy rain and I wouldn't grow anything to eat in the lower half or maybe more. But I do want to raise that lower area so that would be a good place for paper shreddies. There could then be a visual problem -- our yard backs onto a golf course -- but I've been able to cover other things well enough with leaves and shrub prunings and that might work for white shreddies, as well. 4951
