I shred anything with even a little personal information, even the name of my insurance companies, or bank information. Then we put the shredded documents into our compost, and stir. It turns into soil forthwith. And even right after it is put in it is covered and mixed with compost and not even the CIA is going to put it together. We mostly compost it because the master gardener wife wants the paper in there as a balance to the grass and leaves.
I live in a gated community and they nicely re-arranged the recycling that was in the box. They took "recycling" not actual garbage.
