One of the great aspects of our mobile document shredding service is that 100% of the paper we shred is recycled. That’s right, we recycle every single fiber of paper we shred, ensuring that your documents are not put into landfills. Now that’s a green shredding service!
Our trucks shred and recycle over 3 million pounds of paper each year… that’s 3,000,000 lbs. or 1,500 tons of paper that is shredded and recycled. To give you an idea of what that does for our environment, please note that recycling 1 ton of paper saves the following:
- 17 trees
- 380 gallons of oil
- three cubic yards of landfill space
- 4000 kilowatts of energy
- 7000 gallons of water
- 60 pounds less of air pollution!
