We moved to our current house 5.5+ years ago, and prior to that we had a BIG move from a house we lived in for 16 years in Perth. At the time of the big move, I culled a lot of paperwork from my personal files. And did the same again, though on a smaller scale, when we moved here. I had some time so decided to tackle my personal file drawer.
The piles of paper below are what I removed from the drawer! The left pile will be shredded and given to friend for her compost, while the right pile goes into the recycling bin (it’s shiny paper mostly, and doesn’t do well in compost).
The drawer STILL looks full, even after removing all that paperwork! I guess I should do this sort of cull more often than every 5 or so years…

OMGosh – I don’t even want to mention (or think about) our big “pile”.
