We invite our clients, fellow community members and local businesses to each bring two file boxes or 50 lbs. of mixed office paper for us to shred.
How It Works
Drive-up Shred Day: Bring your old printouts and documents in the trunk of your car. One of our team members will unload and bring the paper to our on-site shredding truck while you wait safely inside your vehicle.
- Mixed office paper only (no magazines or newspapers).
- Shredded on site, while you watch.
- Limit: 2 file boxes or 50 lbs.
- 100% of materials will be recycled.
When & Where
- Saturday, September 25th
- 429 Main St., Metuchen
- 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., or until the truck is full.
Why It Works
Recycling paper might seem like a small act individually, but it can be a tremendously impactful initiative when we coordinate a Shred Day together. Consider the following:
- Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, and 2 barrels of oil.
- The process of recycling paper generates 74% less air pollution and uses 50% less water than making paper from new materials.
- 40% of all landfill waste is paper.
- U.S. papermakers recycle enough paper daily to fill a 14-mile long train of boxcars.
We hope you’ll join!
