Sunnyvale has an "approved method" of recycling junk mail. It is this.
1. Put all the junk mail in a sturdy paper bag such as you might get at a grocery store.
2. Put the bag in your trash container and put the container out at curbside.
3. Their hand-sorters will go through all the trash at the dump and sort out your junk mail for recycling.
Some questions come immediately to mind. Do they WANT the junk mail flying like confetti all over the interior of the garbage truck as soon as the trash container is upended? Just how well-sealed is my kitchen garbage bag? How much do these sorters get paid??

Anything that has only my name and address I don't shred -- half the time I think my address is already public so there's no need, but the other half of the time I think I can't be too careful. Do you shred anything at all that has your name and address on it?
