Document Recycling

100% of the paper and hard drives that we shred is recycled! Did you know that for every ton of paper that is recycled, up to 17 mature trees can be saved from unnecessary destruction? This process not only saves thousands of mature trees each year, but also consumes 64% less energy and 50% less water, and results in 74% less air pollution, than producing one ton of paper products using virgin wood pulp.
