I got a paper shredder for like $10 from the thrift store and it fucking eats cardboard boxes like nothing. I now look forward to getting boxes so I can shred them to fuel my compost pile.

Gonna need a brand/model #. All the ones I’ve tried break and jam really easily.

I thought most cardboard boxes had some toxic chemicals on them. Edit: Turns out normal brown boxes can be composted as long as you remove tape and stickers.
