(Warning: EXTREMELY boring) to ask you if you throw old bills (phone, utilities, bank) away?

[ClockWatchingLady]

And if you do, how long do you leave it to do so? And do you shred them?

I have piles of unwanted paper going back years. Can I shred the lot?

water bills are the only paper bills.
gas and electric are on line.

Loads of brilliant ideas here.
I like the sound of some of that online software.
MN really is amazing - thank you for inspiring my long-dreaded sorting day....

I keep and file bank statements, bills and utilities for 10 years and then they are shredded.

It's probably OTT, but it's not difficult to do and we have a huge filing cabinet.

I would never just chuck things in the bin.
