But corrugated cardboard rots down beautifully even if you don't shred
it ;-)

A lot easier to deal with if shredded and I'm sure it composts faster if
shredded!

The best thing with a shredder is the reduction in volume - large
cardboard boxes, heaps of prunings, etc disappear into a small heap when
shredded!
