How does one dispose of checks?

I have A LOT of checks that were never used from previous banks. I have been hanging on to them for years. I feel like shredding would take forever. Any tips???

Shred them. I wouldn't get rid of them any other way.

Shred them.

Or if you have a fireplace and want to wait until winter you can burn them.

Definitely shred them. It's a pain in the arse but worth the piece of mind.

I always shred them. I rip them out and then kind of fan them top to bottom, and feed them through all at once. It doesn't take all that long.

Re: How does one dispose of checks?

you can give them to your bank branch and they'll dispose of them...probably recyling them.

I personally would not do this. It is too risky...there are criminals everywhere. Do it yourself, just shred a bunch a day.

Bring them to your local bank branch. I know I have a service that comes every other week to shred anything in my locked shred bin.

That's what we do at my job...Everything gets thrown in a locled bin, and the shredding company comes to pick it up.

I think it's like that at every bank.
