I remove all address stickers from packages before recycling them and i shred all papers that contain my name or sensitive infos.

I'm ashamed to admit I do the same thing!! Both of those. Lol. If I'm putting out a bunch of boxes in the recycling I always worry people will think I've got valuables or something nice and target me. Also identity theft is no joke. It's annoying that credit card companies send so much semi-sensitive stuff via mail.

Why remove the address stickers? A person that has access to your garbage cans probably knows your address anyway
