We all have a role in the ability to preserve our environment. Proshred^® St. Louis takes this opportunity seriously, and are committed to lowering our carbon footprint in any way possible. All of the shredded paper that we shred is recycled. We partner work with you to assist in protecting your information security, and with your commitment to recycling, our efforts combined will work directly to benefit our environment. Our approach ensures that shredded paper returns to the marketplace as recycled copy paper, tissue paper, paper towels, packaging and additional consumer paper products.

Proshred^®  St. Louis, recognizes your active commitment to our document shredding and recycling initiatives, and provides you with a TreeSaver Environment Certificate every year to show you the number of trees your business has saved through the results of our ongoing relationship.

Every year on Earth Day, Proshred^® launches system-wide, community shredding events for participating locations. On Monday, April 22nd was Earth Day 2013, and Proshred^® Security conducted 19 community shredding events across 12 states utilizing over 20 on-site document shredding trucks. It was the largest Earth Day shred event in the company’s history. With tens of thousands of pounds of paper recycled, Proshred^® maintained the confidentiality of hundreds of guests who attended the event.

Focused on improving the information security of America’s small and medium enterprises (SME) through its secure “Document Destruction at Your Door” shredding and recycling program, Proshred’^®s network of locally managed and nationally operated shredding operations recycled more than 23,300 tons of paper in the last year, up 6% from 2011.

Proshred^® estimates that the resulting recycled paper from its onsite shredding service has contributed to its customers, helping conserve over 396,100 trees, 8.9 million gallons of oil, 69,900 cubic yards of landfill space, 93.2 million kilowatt hours of energy (enough to power almost 11,000 average American homes for a year), 163 million gallons of water, and 1.4 million pounds of air pollution.
