I'm writing this as I look at a garbage bag stuffed full of shredded office paper. Many businesses (and individuals) have shredders to shred important papers. So can these businesses dump this shredded paper in the recycling container at the local transfer stations? Well if it is SMC it sounds like the answer is no. As told to our office manager, they don't want the loose shredded paper dumped because it makes a mess. Plus you cannot put the shredded paper in garbage bags because plastic bags are not allowed in the recycling container. Into the big dumpster it goes.
So much for being green. I guess one option would be to put it in large paper yard waste bags. The transfer stations shouldn't have a problem with that.
