Shredded Paper Recycling

While information security and secure data destruction services are always our top priority, we are much more than the shredding services we provide. We partner with a local paper recycling center to give all of our shredded paper a new life and to help stimulate the economy.

In order for your unwanted and outdated documents to become recycled paper, we first start with the shredding process. Our mobile shredding trucks use advanced technology to cut your paper documents into tiny, randomly shaped pieces that cannot be put back together. The high speed and efficiency of our shredding machines means we can handle thousands of pounds of paper in a matter of minutes.

When our trucks get back to our secure facility, the shredded paper is compacted into large bales and transported to our local recycling center. From there, staples and other foreign materials are removed and the recycling process begins! New paper products like paper towels are created from the recycled paper.

One of our favorite parts about being able to recycle shredded paper is providing our clients with the information about how many trees they have saved each time they use our services. At the end of the year, our clients are presented with a TreeSaver Environmental Certificate, which tells you the number of mature trees you saved by using our secure shredding and recycling services. On average, recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees!
