More in physical privacy space than the usual post. Whenever I get mail, I shred it before disposal. Whenever I get a package, I black out the label.

But my method for blacking out the labels is basically turning on the gas range and holding the label over it until it turns black. It’s not even that good of a method, because I can still see a black-on-black print.

So, I’m wondering if anyone has any better ideas for this sort of thing.

    Drop the black requirement and you could pulp them. Put the labels (as long as they’re paper based) in a solution of water and bleach and leave it there. Keep adding new labels as they come in, and stir the mixture like daily or something. They will start to break down into a mush. At that point you can pull out any mushed blobs of pulp and leave any larger pieces to keep breaking down.
