So, what does this mean?... Garbage can fire??? How do you start it? I mean, if we're talking garbage can style, not a lot of air gets down to the bottom to keep a fire going.
I agree, the floating ash could be a problem.

I am serious about this- it's a lot of paper and the issues of getting rid of it are more than meet the eye.

You might ask yourself a couple of questions:

First--is the paper really confidential? If it has your SSN, just for example--absolutely! But if it's only got your CC number and purchases, or your checking account number, or it's your gas bill--this info is readily available to others already.

Second--For everything except the top secret stuff--if you toss nondescript trash bags into the compacter at your local transfer station, what's the likelihood that any human being ever sees it again?

When I've asked myself these questions, my forbidding pile of confidential docs becomes much more manageable.

Steel garbage can or drum. Mix with a little wood here and there. If it's as much as you say, I'd do it in multiple burnings after following FS's idea above. Use a mesh screen from a standard fire pit if ash becomes an issue.
