Paper Shredding & Recycling Program
Our paper shredding recycling program highlights the reuse of shredded paper. All confidential information is shredded using our Allegheny Shredder and then baled for secure transportation to the paper mill. From that point upon reaching the paper mill, the shredded material is pulped and turned into new paper products. Every piece of paper that can be reused is material that will not require logging or storage in a landfill.
According to the EPA, recycling 1 ton of paper saves:

7,000 GALLONS
OF WATER
3 CUBIC YARDS
OF LANDFILL SPACE
