Give me “paper free” everything!

I just spent about an hour going through and binning correspondence. I admit, if I bothered to keep on top of it the job wouldn’t have seemed so bad. I thought to myself how wasteful this whole process is, as I ripped up statement after notice after special offer. Wasteful of my time and of an appalling amount of paper. So I’ve decided to get on top of things:

Gas, electricity and water
Council tax
TV license
Current account and savings account
Credit card statements
Cable TV, broadband and land-line
Mobile phone

I want paper free everything.

Halifax Online leaves much to be desired, but does provide online statements that I’ve previously saved as PDFs. Really, that’s a little shabby of me because I could download Quicken documents that I could import into an app like Money.

I’ll start by doing that. I’ll report how many of these services I’m able to tidy up on.
