Environmental Impact

We don’t just shred your paper—we recycle it too.

Paper gets a bad rap as being wasteful, when in reality it is one of the most renewable and easily recyclable products in the world (if it is disposed of responsibly).

Rock Solid Shredding proudly recycles 100% of the paper we shred while ensuring that the information on it is kept secure.

Each ton of recycled paper allows for 64% energy savings, 58% water savings, and 60 pounds less air pollution.

In 2024, we shredded and recycled over 1,500 tons (or three million pounds) of mixed paper. This saved approximately:

  • 8,000 trees

  • 800,000 hours of electricity

  • 2.4 million gallons of water

  • 76,000 gallons of oil
