Shredded paper
Please try to avoid shredding paper if possible, you can cross out personal details using a marker and rip the paper into halves or quarters. Or better yet ask for you paper to be online and save on printing costs.
Because shredded paper is so small it has a higher chance of falling off the conveyor belts at the Materials Recovery Facility.
If you must shred paper please put small amounts into other cardboard or paper items i.e. cereal boxes or paper envelopes before putting into the recycling bin.
Send and Shred
Send your confidential paper documents for safe shredding and recycling.
