Recycling

What happens to the shredded paper?

All shredded paper is securely recycled. After destruction, paper is baled and sent to mills where it’s de-inked, pulped, and turned into tissue products like paper towels and toilet paper. Each ton of recycled paper saves about 17 trees — and Abraham’s Shredding recycles about 150 tons per month, saving more than 2,500 trees monthly.

What do the shred particles look like after destruction?

Our shredding process reduces drives and paper documents into small, unrecog­nizable particles. Whether it’s through our mobile truck’s pierce-and-tear method or our facility’s rotary cutting system, all material is destroyed beyond recovery and then recycled responsibly.
