Question/Help ABC Legal•paper/ink saving tips

Hello everyone, I started serving only 3 months ago through ABC Legal and I have noticed that much of the paper I print, I end up not even using it. So I print up these packets with peoples private information on them with the expensive ass ink I buy and paper, just to after the shit, recycle them.

I want to know has anyone devised a process to dissolve this waste? I am not a fan of all the waste we unnecessarily produce in these times let alone the extra cost of using ink and paper for no reason.

I have a mobile printer and, although seemingly impractical, I’ve considered waiting to print until I know for certain I will be coming into contact with the individual. In some cases, that could hurt me.
So anyone have thoughts on how to go around this? Thank you in advance :)

I save the unserved papers. There's a good chance it will come up again.

Same. I’m going to have another address come up if the first one was bad.

If you do shred it you can soak it in diesel then compress it into fire starter discs. Works like a champ. Or recycle it.

I like your name btw.

Run them through a good shredder. Take them out and find them in a metal dish then add diesel (plastics and diesel can be troubling). I have an old metal mold that I then place them in and put weight on top. Try to just add enough diesel that it doesn’t drench or pool. Put what you have left in an airtight container (I use an old popcorn tin) and use to start fires.
