7. Photos of you and your family

Oh, wait! Are there any people who simply throw their family photos in the trash can? Well, some people have duplicates of the pictures and dispose of them in the blink of an eye without thinking about the consequences. A malicious person can use these pictures with bad intentions, especially to steal someone’s identity. And we all know how dangerous social media has become nowadays!

This rule of shredding also applies to old IDs that contain precious information about yourself! Be cautious, and when you decide what documents you should shred, make sure old IDs and old photos are on the list as well.
