shredder
Document destruction machine
A shredder is a machine that cuts material into strips or fragments.
Office shredders destroy documents to prevent sensitive information from being recovered: Run those bank statements through the shredder.
Industrial shredders process wood, metal, or plastic for recycling.
In slang, a shredder is someone who shreds—an excellent guitarist or skateboarder.
