Do you ever wonder what happens to your paper after it is shredded and hauled away? Here at A Plus Paper Shredding we believe in being green and recycling all paper that we pulverize. After a day of driving to our customers and shredding their important documents, we head to our local Recycling Management Resources (RMR) and empty our trucks of the shredded paper. From there RMR bail’s the paper up and sends it to companies to be turned into new products such as paper cups, printing paper, cereal boxes, packing paper, etc. reducing the overcrowding that happens in our landfills and reducing the number of trees that get cut down in our forest’s.
We feel it is important to show our customers the impact that their shredded documents have on the environment after it is taken to the recycling plant. A Plus provides an Environmental report. Our environmental reports are based on the Official U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calculations. There are so many ways recycling impacts the earth, for example if 850 pounds of shredded paper is collected that can turn into .43 tons of processed materials. That much material saves 7 trees, saves 3,010 gallons of water, saves 1763 KW of energy, keeps 26 pounds of pollutants out of the atmosphere, and saves 2 cubic yards of landfill space! If we all do our part in recycling imagine how much better off the earth would be for the next generation and so on and so on. Below is a sample of what an environmental report from us looks like! It is so important for us to take care of our earth, we all need to do our part so we have a earth to live on, so our wildlife does not parish, so we have clean air to breath.

As someone who works at A+ Paper Shredding, this blog is really important to me. Every day, we focus on providing secure document destruction for businesses and residents across Louisville, Lexington, and Southern Indiana — but what happens after the shredding matters just as much.
I’m proud that the work we do doesn’t end at protecting sensitive information. Everything we shred is taken for Recycling, where it’s processed and reused instead of going to a landfill. It feels good knowing we’re part of something bigger — helping customers stay safe and helping the planet at the same time.
The Environmental Reports we give show exactly how many trees, gallons of water, and kilowatts of energy our customers are helping save just by choosing A+. That’s not just good business — that’s something to be proud of.
