Another recycling idea

Recently, I finally persuaded my husband to part with many, many 3-ring binders full of 8 1/2 x 11 papers with outdated work information. I ran some of the paper through the shredder - it makes great packing material. You want to be careful not to save too much of this stuff - saying "someday, this will be great packing material". If you have a use for it NOW or in the very near future, great. Otherwise, it may be best to discard it. But this is a great way to de-clutter, recycle, and save money all at once.
