Ok, I need to make nice quick and concise since I need to head out quickly. Can anyone recommend a shredder? I'm not looking for anything industrial, or even something that will break the bank balance. Just something nice enough that it'll do the trick without getting paper jammed every five minutes.
The one I'm currently using is doing exactly that. I picked it up for a fairly cheap price so I was never expecting miracles, but truth be told, the thing is driving me absolutely nuts now!
So anyway, if someone could recommend one to me, that would be smashing.
Thanks again people, g

Use whatever one you can find at a thrift store for cheap.
Just remember that shredding is pretty worthless nowdays. Even cross-cut shreds can be pretty easy to scan in and reassemble using a computer.
If you've got any significant amount then just burn it.

In all honesty, I wouldn't get the chance to go out and burn heaps of paper. If I did have the chance, I'd have to let it mount up to a significant amount before justifying finding somewhere to go out and burn it.
I'll keep my eyes out over on sites like Gumtree and eBay and see if I can get my hands on one that's better than what I currently own at the moment. It amazes me when I hear how many people throw away mail that's addressed to them that still contains all their personal details!

You really can't burn some paper out in front of your apartment?

Here's a tip... pick up a shitty barbecue at a yard sale or thrift store. They work great as an un-suspicious AND 100% legal burn barrel.
Many places you can't legally burn trash. However, if it is a "cooking fire" or barbecue it's legal everywhere and nobody can say jack.
You'd be amazed at the volume of stuff you can burn easily in a barbecue. The round, oldskool charcoal burners work the best because you can adjust vents on the lid and bottom to get a good, fairly clean burn. But you can use anything from a little Hibachi to a monster propane unit.
If you've just got a little then you can use a functioning BBQ, otherwise you can usually get burned out or broken ones for free.
I kept one just for fun and to have parties at my apartment complex. If I lit one piece of paper on fire in the driveway I'd end up in trouble, but I could have a raging fire in a BBQ with no problems. I actually got hassled once or twice by the cops. They knew what was up, but I told them that it was a 100% legal "cooking fire", and they just laughed and left, knowing that they had zero on me. I had plenty of fun explaining my cooking methods to them. Basically I burn down a bunch of shit wood and scraps, then cook over the coals. Of course, this requires burning down a bunch of shit wood and having a big party fire... to get the good cooking coals of course.
