We are burning ours with our old records in the fireplace on Australia Day, January 26.
Sort of one of those tradtions you don't know how it got started.

Would it really save that much after paying to ship the manuals to the distribution center? crislapi is paying $5.50/case for shredding. I doubt you could ship it back to Salt Lake for that.cbradford wrote:I wonder if the distribution center would be willing to destroy them. Surely they have a large industrial shredder or shredding service. Just a thought.

It depends on what "mode" your editor is in. If it's in WYSIWYG mode (where it will show bold text as bold instead of [ B ]bold[ /B ]) it won't work.

Has anyone seen any specific guidance on what "destroy" means. Do we need to get a commercial shredding service, have a bonfire, or just dispose of in the dumpster?
In Regina, we can take documents to a commercial shredder for a small fee. The company will permit us to watch the process.
A very hot fire for a definite period of time is required to completely burn thick manuals.

We actually stored the handbooks for a few weeks in the stake offices and invited all the financial clerks in the stake to bring their old records by. One of our stake Presidency members loaded everything into a pickup and drove them to a members house in the country where they had a bonfire. We are considering making this an annual event.
