Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our paper recycling service
Do I need to remove staples and paperclips from documents?
Small metal items like staples and paperclips don't need to be removed. Our recycling process can handle these small metal contaminants. However, larger metal fasteners or binder clips should be removed before recycling.
Can I recycle confidential documents through your service?
Yes, we offer secure document destruction services for confidential papers. We can provide locked bins and a certificate of destruction upon request. Please contact us for more information about our secure document recycling options.
Do cardboard boxes need to be broken down before collection?
Yes, we request that cardboard boxes be flattened to maximize bin space. This allows us to collect more material and ensures your bin doesn't fill up too quickly. For businesses with large volumes of cardboard, we can provide cardboard balers or compactors.
What happens to the paper after it's collected?
After collection, your paper waste is transported to a recycling facility where it's sorted by grade and quality. It's then pulped, cleaned of inks and contaminants, and manufactured into new paper products like office paper, packaging, tissues, and more.
