One of the most space consuming side effects of working from home is all of the papers, printouts and mail you have to (eventually) dispose of. The stacks can pile up after a while. The best option is the shred them for security and disposal reasons. However, if you don’t shred your papers the moment you are done with them then you can end up with a large pile to take care of. Traditional shredders require that you shred 1 – 4 pieces at a time. So you end up standing at your shredder for a very long time putting in each very small stack until you’re done. We have better things to do, right?
Then, if you have a small child in the house who still naps, the nerve grating sound of traditional shredders is a problem in and of itself. I don’t know how many times my husband walked to the shredder only for me to grab him and say, “Are you nuts?! The baby JUST went to sleep!” And so the pile grows. And so does the time you spend at the shredder when you finally have a moment to actually get it done.
Introducing the solution to your shredding problems and one of my Back-to-Work essentials:
The Swingline Stack-and-Shred Automatic Shredder

With the Stack-and-Shred automatic shredder you can load and shred up to 100 pieces of paper with one push of a button. “Just stack, shut and get on with your day”. In addition, the nearly silent operation of the shredder allows to you dispose of your documents at any time day or night. The cross-cut shredding pattern also ensures that no one, not even dumpster divers, are going to get any of your information after it’s been shredded into confetti size pieces.
Other features that set this shredder apart from the rest:
- Manual bypass for up to 6 sheets
- Shreds credit cards in separate slot
- Automatic jam clearance
- 7 gallon waste bin with viewing window
- 2-year warranty on machine and 5-year on cutters

One part of this model that I enjoy the most is that you don’t have to set your papers out in the open between shreds. You can open the top hatch and place the papers inside: safe and sound until you’re ready to push the start button. It’s actually fun! My husband now asks me “Have you shredded yet today? Good, because I want to do it!”
All fun aside – the safety of both your family and your banking account rests on the simple practice of knowing how best to dispose of your private documents, bills and records. Shredding should be used and used often to protect your family’s security. With the Swingline Stack-and-Shred shredder now you can protect WHILE you do something else and save time.
