Turn Your Sensitive Documents Into a DIY Fireplace Log (When Shredding Isn't an Option)

While shredding is a great way to dispose of the occasional document, it becomes a lot less practical when you have stacks of paper to destroy. Weblog The Simple Dollar recommends burning them—by turning them into a DIY fireplace log.

We've actually shared how to make a fireplace starter out of newspaper before, but this makes it a lot more useful. Not only is it cheaper than going out and buying a Dura-Log, but you'll be permanently disposing of all your sensitive documents at the same time. Of course, if you aren't a fireplace type of person, you could just use water to dispose of them too.
