| I can get all the beer boxes that I can haul from a local store. They are thin cardboard, is there a paper shredder under $100 that would shred them for mulch? |

| Any of them that are 10 sheets capacity or more do a fine job. Check out my video, (link below)

| I told my GF that I was going to Wal-Mart to buy a paper shredder. She said why? I have a brand new one that someone gave me! It is only a 4 sheet, I gave it a try and it will cut the beer boxes! It may not last long but what the heck, it was free! I've shredded four 40 gallon trash bags full so far. I have been giving it time to cool between shreds. I basically just stick one in whenever I walk by it. It sometimes strains a little when I put in the part of the box that overlaps. |

| I've been wondering if it will hurt my chipper shredder to shred cardboard and newspapers with it? |

| Cardboard would probably go through a chipper shredder easier than newspapers. I would start with a small amount and work up from there. It may not seem like paper would be a problem, but have you ever tried tearing a phone book? :-] |
