There are many ways to reduce the amount of physical paperwork in your home. Simple changes you can make include signing up for paperless billing, subscribing to digital newspapers and magazines, and scanning important documents to store digitally.

Other Things to Consider

Privacy & Retention Regulations to Consider

California v. Greenwood

Ruled that garbage placed on the curb is not protected under the 4th amendment, making it legal to search through and take items from the trash. Documents containing personal information can be easily stolen this way.

Record Retention for Individuals

Record retention guidelines suggest keeping tax, legal, financial, and medical documents for a specific period of time. Tax returns can be audited for up to 6 years after filing, so it’s wise to keep tax records for 7 years.
