    Bought this solely for shredding cardboard for compost material. Like most I had a HUGE pile of Xmas cardboard boxes. Peeled off stickers and cut the strips the tape was stuck to. After awhile you will give up on trying to peel everything off and then grab box cutter and just cut them out. Slice and diceThis was one sitting and non stop for at least two hours. 96 gallon trash bin and almost full y’all!!Moved to an area last June that does not have recycling service. Not lazy to take them to recycling center, but have been looking at composting for some spring time building raised garden beds. Everyone says to layer overlapping sheets of cardboard on bottom for weed control and then more compost material on that and then fill alternate with manure/more compost filler/top soil.I plan to add some red worms for their donations and breaking material down as well.This shredder has done a few sittings with a few hours at a time with no over heating. Make sure you get the one that can shred 24 sheets at a time. Thats close to cardboard thickness. It can even handle the double walled cardboard but advise you to cut them into thinner strips. Machine can handle them but I don’t want to stress it out vs taking a little bit more time to take care of the machine.I do oil it after a hard days work and I know that’s key to taking care of it.I don’t run staples, packing tape, glue, or string type tape through it. I run clean brown cardboard and can’t be more happy.
