We know: 1-Minute Lesson on Paper ShreddersWhat's a paper shredder?Paper shredders are machines that are used by individuals and companies to reduce idea and identity theft by shredding documents into strips or pieces, making it difficult to read important information like social security numbers or account numbers. What are the different kinds of paper shredders?There are two basic kinds of paper shredders: Straight-cut or strip-cut shredders cut the paper into long strips of 1/8 to 1/2 inch in width. They can handle a high volume of paper and don't require much maintenance. Cross-cut shredders cut the paper both length and width-wise. This means they do a more thorough job. These shredders usually cost more and can require more maintenance. In an article on identity theft, Consumer Reports recommends you use a cross cut shredder.
