Shred it.
I recommend that you consider using online banking as well as having a checkbook for occasional purchases. It will save much postage. I even use it to pay individual people if I am not taking possession of merchandise on the spot.

It's a good idea to keep the check register -- the part where you list deposits, withdrawals, and checks written -- as a record of your spending and possibly for tax purposes.
As with any financial information, it is a really good idea to shred all documents using a cross-cut shredder so that you are not a possible victim of identity theft. Many office supply stores and general merchandise stores such as Target and Wal-Mart sell fairly inexpensive shredders. Guard against identity theft, it is a real problem.

Now with all this Identity theft happening . I bought a cheap shredder and I shred everything that has important info. If you can't afford to buy one maybe you can use the one at work or a friends.

Shred it or burn it, and as Thomas K said, try to do whatever banking you can online.

Shred it, or throw it in the fireplace.
