Composting Card Offers

If you've ever tossed a credit card application in the trash, even after tearing it up, read this (it's 3 pages long), and be scared. I shred, and then toss the shreds in my worm bin.

I tear it up, but the well-shuffled scraps go out in 3 separate trash receptacles, on 2 different trash weeks.

What bugs me is that the offers and whatnot will keep getting sent to an old address after you've moved, and not necessarily forwarded--at least, this has happened to me. Who knows who might end up with them.
