Environmental Impact

We don’t just shred—we recycle too.

Paper has an unfair reputation as being wasteful, when in reality, it is one of the most renewable and easily recyclable products in the world when disposed of responsibly.

When you use Rock Solid Shredding for your paper shredding and hard drive destruction needs, you can be rest assured that all the material we securely destroy is responsibly recycled.

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