Where should i bring the shredded paper from my office to be disposed of properly???

Question

i work for my dad and im all about saving the earth so i asked him if i could start recycling but we have a lot of shredded paper that we usually just through away and i want to start recycling it so i need to find a place relatively close to where i live so i can continue to save the world one bag of shredded paper at a time!!!

Answer 1

There are services that will do that.  

They will even provide you with a locked box to keep in your office.  They will come as needed or as scheduled to clear out the box and dispose of it properly.  I believe they will recycle it.  

I would imagine that these services are dependent on location, but the one I used was "Shred it."  They would come by once a week.  (I didn't even have to shred the stuff, just stick it in the box.)

Answer 2

burn baby burn!

Burn that sucker!

if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and the earth ain't broke yet.

Answer 3

Abitibbi (sp?) paper recycling containers are places on many school parking lots throughout the area. Just be sure that the shreds are not in plastic bags.

Answer 4

You should contact your local council to see what facilities they have.

Also check the local directories, there maybe a local firm that will pick up from business premises on a regular basis.  It will mean filling up one of their bags/sacks which is collected and an empty left.

Answer 5

You may be able to turn it into compost, if you can mix in the right amount of nitrogen.  

Answer 6

I would take it to the city/s recycling center or plant. You can check www.recyclenow.com for help locating recycling centers in your area. You can also call your city's village hall for local information. good luck and way to be green!

Answer 7

Answer 8

go to www.earth911.org type in what you want to recycle and your zip
