Delivery of agents to the cutting mechanism of paper shredders

A cap configured to couple an agent contained within a removable reservoir to a paper shredding device, comprising:

• a peripheral wall;
• an open proximal end configured to attach to an open end of the removable reservoir;
• and
• a distal end configured to releasably attach to an inlet conduit of a paper shredding device, the inlet conduit of the paper shredder being configured to receive the agent from the removable reservoir for application of the agent to a cutting mechanism of the paper shredding device.

A paper shredder comprising:

• a shredding mechanism with at least one blade capable of shredding paper;
• a feeding mechanism configure to feed paper to the shredding mechanism;
• a delivery mechanism configured to deliver an agent to the paper prior to the paper being shredded by the shredding mechanism;
• and
• a reservoir in communication with the delivery mechanism, the delivery mechanism selectively drawing the agent from the reservoir for delivering the agent to the paper shredded by the shredding mechanism.

A shredder comprising:

• a shredding mechanism with at least one blade;
