..We’re Named in the 2021 Inc. 5000 List…

Magazine.The 2021 Inc. 5000 list honors businesses that are fast growing and lists the most successful private companies in the country based on their success over the course of a year.

…We Opened a New Location in New Jersey…
In response to the demand for our services across the Tristate area, we have launched another location to serve the New Jersey area with professional shredding services to insure the safety of confidential documents for businesses across that region. We have built a solid reputation on taking our processes very seriously. We follow all guidelines regarding material being processed and have implemented those same services for counties in New Jersey where our document destruction services are now available.
…Our Most Asked Question…
What Happens to the Shredded Paper?
Long story short, we securely transport shredded documents to a recycling plant where it is pulped and recycled into tissue paper. Products including toilet paper and paper towels are derived from this type of recycled paper waste.
As you know, at Legal Shred, we believe in education and helping our customers understand how our services work. Plus, we love talking about shredding!
Here is a closer look at what actually happens.
- First, a pickup of your paperwork is scheduled
- Next, it’s readied for recycling after a process of being baled into large bundles,
- Then off to a paper processing plant.
Of course, factors such as the data contained on the paper waste as well as any legal compliance needs for its disposal may change this process up a bit.
Sometimes the regulations will call for incineration after shredding for example.
Recycling one ton of office paper can save 17 trees, 7,000 gallons of water, 463 gallons of oil, and 3 cubic yards of landfill space.
