I hate dust, cause I'm allergic to it. In Malaysia, where it's humid, house dust builds up quickly. Worse it's the fully grey organic kind which gives me cold like symptoms. By the end of this month, I should have almost no paper clutter left. All other clutter is now organised into covered boxes. It doesn't reduce dust, but it helps me clean it up.

Dust is bad for computers too, this is the filter after a month on my server case:

Some tips on reducing paper clutter:

• Important documents, scan it and file it away. Most of the time, you only need to provide a copy. Having access to digital copies, makes it easier to find and quickly print out.
• Business cards. I find it funny that people with USD 599 phones with IR, WiFi, Bluetooth etc. don't have a business card in VCF ready to beam or send via bluetooth from their mobile. It's the quickest way to get your contact details to somebody else. It's also an open standard.It will even be on their phone already, which is the most likely place they will look up a number to call. Until more people realise this, you'll just have to get into the habit, of adding the business card into your phone as soon as possible. Then chuck it away, if it's not important to add, chuck it away. Don't build up a collection, in today's digital age, it's silly to look up a number in a stack of cards.
• Bill statement, after payment, chuck it in the recycle bin. Most statements you can check online anyways, or request for if it's really important.
• Liberally throw away stuff. If you haven't read a pamphlet within a week, you'll probably never going to read it. Chuck it in the recycle bin.

After a week and a half, the amount of paper clutter in my recycle bin. So many trees.
