What you say is true (in theory) but I would be (and am) 100000x more concerned of my personal data on the internet then how some some papers in the garbage are shredded. If they wish to spend 2 hours reconstructing my junk mail, so be it. Virtually nothing is on paper anymore that I wouldn't be saving forever..

Everyone should check out this website: | Have I been pwnd

Even some banks use it because I got a secure message from CITI saying they found my emails/passwords on that site.

And for those concerned about that site just Google: is "have I been pwnd" legit. It is.

Showing results for is have i been pwnd a legit site
Search instead for is have i been pwnd a legit site

Is “Have I Been Pwned?” legit? Yes, it is. ... HIBP has been assisting governments, such as the UK, Australia, and Romania (to name a few), in monitoring for breaches in government domains.May 19, 2021


And there are hundreds of other comments backing that up.
