Disposal of old cheque books, expired cards

[brack]

How do you all get rid of your old cheques, sensitive financial documents/ letters, expired cards?
Also passbooks.

I usually cut cards up into tiny pieces and dispose in 2 or 3 sets.

But, have changed addresses and branches and now have several pristine passbooks and cheque books that are not in use.

Current options are:
a. Cut them up
b. Burn them

Any better suggestions?

Indian Banking system is the most unorganised and cottage industry type system when compared to developed world couter parts..there is absolutely no customer oriented services at all ... afterall the Banks live on customers money... Pathetic is a very small word to use in this context ...
NO respect for customer at all...

Absolutely. Banks have too much power over the people, so much so that they lord over the people. It is the people’s own money, yet they pay for every little thing, including to withdraw their own money they have limits such as 5-6 in metros. It’s just another way to ‘earn’ more from customers which is, quite simply, just another word for loot from customers.

Don't dispose old cards, once I forgot my Amazon password and they asked for me to complete a card detail which I used long ago..
