Repeat until automatic:

I am not their archivist (except for the SCA, where I still sorta am).
I do not need utility bills for the house we sold more than a year ago.
I do not need any utility bills from my mother's accounts.
I do not need credit card statements other than those showing big purchases where I might have to make a warranty claim.
I do not need pay stubs prior to the current year, except enough to document my salary history. And if I have the raise letter from the relevant employer, not at all.
I do not need old cancelled checks, except for mortgage documentation etc. and charitable deductions.

If I can just get rid of that much, I should have enough office space to file the rest!

Good rules - I'm working through a similar list myself - I've already filled to large bags with shredding, and I'm not even through one drawer of my four-drawer lateral file.
