Is there a service provider/business that shreds document on the spot in front of the client so he/she knows it’s done IMMEDIATELY? Grrrrrr.

 

  I have An acquaintance of mine has quite a large number of documents, photos, other pieces of information that need to be shredded right away, and then the scraps burned,and then the ashes scattered in the winds of the Himalayas. I have My acquaintance has been to five different businesses where they expect me my acquaintance to toss the “evidence” into a so-called “secure” bin and walk away, trusting that they will be shredded later without anybody going through them, using them to their advantage, blackmailing me my acquaintance, selling them on the open market, calling in the authorities, etc. 
  (This is an urgent necessity, there are certain actions that have taken place that might tip off a certain Australian, or a Minnesotan, or an evil Queenpin, or Investigators looking into untoward activities that may or may not have been at my acquaintance’s hand. Cough, cough.)

    I don't know about shredding, but I do know that the UPS Store puts your documents into large padlocked bins that are opened only by the company that removes the bins and shreds the paper.

    I can but I have to shred each page individually. Please ignore the camera in the ceiling, it's not set to automatically photograph each page as it's fed in (cough, cough).

      Hey! Who let the Aussie in here? He’s probably using this job as a front to smuggle Vegemite and Down Under mayonnaise into the US! I can’t let him get ahold of my documents, he‘s one the main reasons I’m destroying them in the first place! HR! HR! HR! I demand to see the person who hired Slart! Arrrrgggghhh.

    No! You got to do this yourself, and I can tell you how. Acetylene-oxygen flames! The hottest you can achieve in practical settings. When acetylene (C₂H₂) is burned with pure oxygen in a controlled torch, it can reach temperatures of up to 3,480°C (6,296°F) at the flame's core. The hard part is finding something that can hold it and not melt along with your "DOCUMENTS"! However, if you can find a tungsten container to hold it, you're good. There might be a little problem with this method. Unless you're Elon Musk, I don't see you pulling it off.................maybe!

    It appears some of you don't know the difference between shredding and burning. :)
