How long do I neet to keep original deposition transcripts?

I am in California and I have sold my deposition business.  I have in storage many boxes of original deposition transcripts.  I know the originals are to be sent to attorneys sealed, and I have been doing that for the last 10 years, but many years ago I would keep the originals for cases venued in my county instead of sealing and sending to noticing attorneys as I could walk them over to the courthouse on the next block to be filed for trial as needed.  

I gave that up, as I said, about 10 years ago because of the storage issue.


I am needing to clean out this storage area.  Can these originals just be sent to a shredding company if they are over "X" years old?  How long would I need to keep any of those original transcripts?


Thanks for any help!

Sorry for the mispelling of "need."  I didn't proofread very well!
