My personal philosophy (as a reformed /reforming packrat) is that bank statements can be re-issued in most circumstances. If you're saving utility bills (phone, internet, cable, power, water, etc) and you're not using them to make claims -- say, if you run a home office or something and are using them as deductions against your income, they dont need to be saved.
Just figure that anything that can be reprinted, and anything that isn't going to be seen by an auditor, can be chucked.
This is your non-legal, non-accountant viewpoint. Take it for what it's worth, and nothing more!
