<prompt> Human: My father passed away two years ago this April. He was meticulous about keeping any and all financial documents, statements, etc. going back 30 years. I have 1.5 large and heavy boxes of these docs in a closet. Not long after he passed, I began shredding, but realized it would take forever and just quit.So, my question is -- Is it safe at this point just to recycle all of this paper and not worry about shredding? All of the accounts are closed, the creditors are paid, and the estate is all wrapped up. I assume at this point that credit bureaus or whoever have flagged his SS as deceased.  <response>: You can always go to a store. UPS offers shredding services. You put it in a locked bin on site and they have a vendor come and shred.
