Answer 1

ask your nearest pet shop they could sell it as hamster beding

Answer 2

You might want to check if some local farmers want it . Farmers around here use shredded paper as bedding for their animals. It's a great way to recycle unwanted paper. Just make sure not to have any staples in the shredding.

Answer 3

Find a paper producing factory in your area

who will not only pay for the shredded paper but

will also come to your place to pickup..

This way both the parties will benefit and above all the environmentalists will be the happiest lot.

Recycle more to save the world.

Answer 4

I actually bargained with our trash company to pick up our recyclables at the same time they get our trash.  They pay us 2 cents a pound for our papers and recyclables, so we arent making tons of $$ but we are saving the environment.  I say look in the yellow pages for recycling companies in your area.

Answer 5

Get a shredding service.  They save you the cost of shredding yourself and then recycle all the bits.

Answer 6

if you happen to live either near a vets office or an area where they may have animals this is great for them.  Also if you know someone who sells on ebay and does alot of shipping this is excellent packing for them.  Hope this helps.
