Is it really free?
YES! It's really free. We have an established commercial operation and opening our doors to the public was a natural step in extending our outreach and supporting our community and environment. All of the shredded material will be recycled.
Can I watch?
Yes, however this option is subject to a $30.00 fee. Customers that wish to view the process will sign in, be issued a visitor badge and will be escorted into the destruction facility to witness the destruction of their own material. The fee is necessary due to the additional labor, time and procedures involved.
What size/type of boxes or bags can I use?
We accept all box and bag types and generally receive material in standard banker or legal size boxes. Many visitors also use various packing boxes, plastic/paper bags and totes.
Can I keep my boxes?
