Abstract
A paper shredder includes a housing, cutters positioned in the housing, and a feeder base coupled to the housing and adapted to support a stack of papers. The feeder base includes a feeder slot through which paper passes for shredding in the cutters. The feeder base further includes an aperture formed in the feeder base at a location spaced from the feeder slot. The aperture provides a pathway between a top surface of the feeder base and a waste area below the feeder base and has an edge with multiple surfaces that enhance an ability of the edge to peel away sheets of paper from the stack.
