My husband takes care of our accounting so I have no clue. I'm sure at some point he destroys old documents.

If I don't need it, they get shredded. Gone are the days of multiple filing cabinets. Lean and mean.

I shred a lot of things as needed/necessary.  I have a powerful shredder in my office.  It serves me well.

YES! I shred everything 4 years old or older Will Hamm . Every once in a while AARP has a free shredding event, at least they used to prior to covid. I hope they bring that service back again.

Will, I tend to hang on to them for tax reasons, and every now and then I receive a class action lawsuit notice going back several years needing documentation to participate.  So those old bills do come in handy helping me garner tens of dollars while the lawyers receive tens of millions of dollars from the class action settlement.   ^_~

Bills?  From years ago?  I shred mine every six months at least.  Sometimes more.  They're great for starting charcoal chimneys too.

Probably not, I think that they file them, of course I have little to do with bills since those are handled by other folks around here.

nope.  I just hand them to my wife who has a filing system and a box for past years.  Every now and again we take the oldest ones and burn them in a barrell.

I shred bills as the get paid unless they are of an urgent matter.  I will destroy all of them once there's proof the payment has been received.
