All shreds are baled and shipped to paper mills where they will be pulped and turned back into usable paper products such as cardboard. Documents should not be bound. (NO BOOKS WILL BE ACCEPTED.) Pages should be removed from plastic folders, three-ring binders, etc. Do not include binders in your box of paper to be shredded. Please remove paper clips.
