We recycle 100% of all material shredded!
Each logged tree only produces 16.7 reams of paper.
Each of our 1000 lb. bales of paper saves approximately 9 trees!
Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 mature trees, 7 thousand US gallons of water, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil and 4,100 kilowatt-hours of electricity — enough energy to power the average American home for six months!
The average daily web user prints 28 pages daily.
Today, over half of the material used to make paper is recovered waste.
In an effort to help the community "Go Green" and raise awareness about
recycling we are currently looking for businesses to partner with to offer our services for free.
The ideal business would be one that serves the community in some
capacity such as a library, school, dmv, post office, municipal office,
community foundation, etc. We will provide a secure container to be
placed somewhere that patrons & customers have access to it. They,
as well as the business, can then slide any secure/recycle-able
material in the small slot to be shredded & recycled. Once the
security container is full, we will come shred and recycle all material
and provide the business with a Certificate of Destruction, ensuring
all material has been shredded & recycled. At the end of each month
we will provide the business with an an approximate count of how many
trees they have saved.
Just last year we recycled over 1 million pounds of paper, which saved approximately 8,500 trees. If you feel that you would be a good partner please call Kathleen Wahl at (941) 927-7586 or e-mail her at sdshred@yahoo.com.
