And if you do get some mailings from a third party member, see if you can opt out so then you won’t get anymore junk from them and on whether they do give out your information to other companies and people that would contact you.

If you do not currently have a shredder, you can do price comparison and see what companies have them. And if you own a business, you can deduct the amount that you paid for on tax purposes since it was not used for personal reasons. Some people are willing to offer you some tips on what model and brand they have and let you know where they get them.
