Does anyone have suggestions for how to dispose of receipts/invoices that come with merchandise? If I run them through the shredder, the adhesive on the receipt gums up the shredder and if I use the ink roller on the glossy receipts I can see the info through it. Cutting them with scissors seems to be a poor choice for hiding info on the receipt.
I'm at a loss for ideas. Can anyone help me with this? TIA! item

I put sticky labels between two pieces of paper in a paper shredder. Haven't had a problem.

Genius how I wish I had done this because I made the mistake of putting the QVC invoice through my shredder and now it will not work.

Got a storage box and store the receipts. I really don't want to rid myself of them for two years. Then I simply shred them or tear them up.

I gummed up my shredder with something by accident, can't remember now what it was but there were instructions that came with the machine how to clean it. I think I recall you use a few drops of light oil & keep trying to turn it on until the oil works through. Light oil is like a sewing machine oil, not cooking oil. I had to keep running it back & forth and it eventually worked. The instructions say to do the oil treatment every so often to keep the machine working properly. If you don't have your manual, you may be able to find one online

I just cut them up with scissors and put the pieces spread out in different garbage containers. For very important documents... I take a bag once a year to a free shredding event in my neighborhood.

I fold the sticky part back on itself and then send it through the shredder so the sticky aprt is not exposed.
