RECYCLING

After shredding the paper, SDS works closely with a local recycle center to insure that the shredded waste paper is pulped at a mill in the United States. Most of the time, the paper ends up at a pulp mill in TN or GA, but it is never sent overseas or used as packing material, filler, mulch, or confetti. Currently, SDS recycles approximately 70 tons of paper per month.
