Iron Mountain only stores information, they don't shred it right?

Shred It does, but fire is so much cooler. ;)

If business related, use Shred It.

Otherwise, BUrn baby burn ;)

IIRC, the two approved methods for us to use to destroy sensitive information when we were in the military were fire and pulping. You can put them in a blender with some water if you'd like--but fire is much more fun.

Burn it, then put the ashes through a wood chipper. After that you should hire a Helicopter to disperse the ashes at a height of 6 thousand feet, over a large body of water. Hire a powerful speed boat and do a tank of gas tearing it up on said body of water. Remove all clothing, burn the boat and swim to the shore. Have an accomplice meet you at the waters edge. Drive to the nearest town and off him in a cheap motel. Take his body to a pig farm. Relax.

That should secure the docs, but i can't promise anything.

First off, you'll need some sort of fork lift to move tons of paper. You could get by using manual labor, but that'd take a little longer. of course you will need to somehow assemble the paper via some type of order to be placed on pallets. once palletisized, rent yourself a large trailer, something you can drive the forklift straight into. Fill the trailer up, keeping enough room to put the forklift in. Drive the tractor trailor to the grand canyon, to the place on the little scooter commercial that has those old folks on it. Using the fork lift, drop pallets into the canyon.

Nope....FIRE. Works every time and you are GUARRANTEED that they are destroyed with no info leak. I have burned them in the fireplace but a back yard barbeque pit is easier to deal with.

Hmm... The pilot lands, and he is the one that picks you up. Win win!
