Typically, when we think of shredders we think of shredding paper. However, a number of shredder models now also have the ability to shred CDs. This is a great way to dispose of CDs with sensitive data on them, rather than the messier ways of trying to destroy them by bending them out of shape, cutting them up with scissors or trying to scratch the data side to make them unreadable. If shredding of CDs is a requirement for you, then simply check the shredders technical spec to ensure that it can perform this function. Some shredders even have a dedicated slot for shredding CDs.
