- Bulk Pick-up Service
- Shredder Service
| The Recycle center's shredder is industrial capacity and
can very quickly shred all of your old documents and then all the paper is recycled. Some
people are concerned that recycling allows their information to pass through many hands,
but what they don't know is that throwing away paper does not destroy it - in fact
readable 40 year old newspapers have been pulled out of old landfills. With recycling,
the paper is reduced to the fiber and the ink is all washed off - no one will ever read
your information. |
