A professional organizer I know of says not to even bother keeping them at all. If you need them, you can always get to them online. If you REALLY need one and can't get to it online, you can always request one from the bank. Paying a few bucks to request one is a lot cheaper than storing them in your house for 10 yrs (taking up space unnecessarily).
If it matters to you that much, it would probably be easier to download yours monthly online and save them to your hd (and back up).
Banks are not required to keep those records for as far back as you might need them in the case of an audit.
