Should I use shredded paper for garden mulch?

I have garbage bags of shredded paper that I don't want to put in the landfill. If I use it as mulch will it just make a globby mess? As in papermiche?

You can, but I think the loose bits will blow around when they are dry. I use shredded paper in compost.
Yes.
Recycling centers will take the paper. If you’re concerned that someone will re-assemble your shredded financial documents, then you can sprinkle some water in the bags to make the ink run.
