These shredding places are bonded & insured. They aren't going to stay in business long if people are stealing their shreds and piecing identities together. Is the UPS store really going to mishandle your paper shredding? They have too much reputation to uphold.

Don't be to trusting. Last year I, my daughter, and my youngest son put money together to buy a gift or debit card for their brother or my oldest son. The card was taken to a UPS store in Minneopolis to be sent to him. He never got it. My youngest son who sent the card did some investigating and with the help of the UPS store and after looking at video found the employee had open the envelope and removed the card. The police found video from the sports store across the street showing the same employee buying a pair of sneakers with that card. Ups refunded everything including shipping.
I doubt people would be trying to piece shredding together, but could get info from the pages before shredding such as acc't numbers and SS numbers. We can't be too carefull with our personal info.
