[BBLISA] Bulk document disposal in the Boston area (OT)

If you have a kid in the house, it's a great fun thing for them to do,
feeding the shredder.  :]

I've seen the big portable shredder trucks from Iron Mountain driving
around, but otherwise no good ideas.  And they're bound to be
expensive.  And bonded, which is probably what you want if you're just
going to hand them such information.  

If have a 55 gallon drum and some good heavy screens, you could just
burn it all outside instead.  The screen is to keep the ashes from
flying all over the neighborhood.  Cut some air holes in the bottom
and just shovel it in.  

Hmmm... try calling Kinkos, maybe they have a more industrial shredder
you could feed?  

Hmm..., as always, google is your friend.  I just got a bunch of
results back for "Boston Document Shredding".
