Default waste bin

just found the perfect waste bin for your van.

after buying various bins only to find they are not suitable....too big/too flimsy ect i came upon this.........

a disused document shredder bin. just the right size for a carrier bag and with a little thought its easy to make a hanger for it.

From industrial shredders that need constant maintenance and those made for home use, they never seem to last very long, I have been through a few in the last couple of years. My document destroyer these days involves a box of matches

I am sure a bit of ash gets into some of your parcels

try feeding a couple of LP's into it, that normally finishes 'em off.if that fails, stick a dishcloth in.

my mum-in-law has a 4inch long manual, hand cranked shredder, she sits for hours shredding her newspapers, old mags ect..........one page at a time.
she really should get out more.

not very enviro-friendly Jim.

to be honest, since the fortnightly bin collections, i do the same with all my paper waste.

old oil drums were made for it.
