Personally, I would be a little concerned just dropping off a bunch of my old financial records/papers... especially at some "small operator" storefront in a mall.
Who knows if they will follow through and dispose of it properly or who works for them (i.e., do they do background checks of employees).
I would have to see it shredded or incinerated right in front of me.

Good advice. Investing in a shredder is the way to go and I've had one for many years. The newer shredders will also shred credit cards. Make sure it shreds and also crosscuts which gives smaller pieces instead of long strips.
