The waste bin is very easy to empty, all you need to do is open the shredder door and simply empty the bin. The solid steel cutting cylinder also allows this shredder to destroy documents with paper clips and staples and as well as credit cards. With the 125.2 you get a lifetime warranty on the cutting cylinder. Along with the solid steel cutting cylinder, the 125.2 also comes with solid steel cutting rollers that are wear-resistant so they last for many years to come. This level 4 cross cut shredder is only 13.6" D x 17.6" W x 32.6" and weighs a mere 66 lbs. Because of its smaller size it is very easy to relocate within an office.
