Host a Paper Shredding Event at Your Location

A paper shredding event is an opportunity for municipalities, banks, businesses, etc. to serve their community by hiring a paper shredding company and offering free shredding to their members. We offer two event options:

We will bring our mobile shredding truck to your location for two to four hours for an on-site, visible paper shredding event.
Secure containers can be dropped off at your location. Community members can place their paper in locked containers and we will pick them up within one week. The paper can be shredded on-site or at our secure plant in Northbrook.

Don’t worry about removing staples, paper clips or binder clips. Your shredded paper gets mixed with other shredded paper and automatically baled in a tightly compacted 1400 pound bale. It is then sent to a paper mill where it will be recycled and turned into paper towels and toilet paper. All cardboard, including the cardboard boxes that held your paper, is sent to a cardboard plant to be made into recycled cardboard and box board.
