Recycling Services
In service to the planet, On-Site Shredding is proud to also offer a variety of recycling services. This is a great way to dispose of any unused and unwanted electronics that may contain sensitive and confidential information. Electronic waste, also known as E-Waste, can contain various amounts of toxic and hazardous materials such as steel, lead, cadmium, and mercury. If not disposed of properly these materials can find their way to landfills, eventually being burned, and exposed to the air we breathe. Through our document shredding and hard drive destruction services, we’re able to properly recycle and break down any unwanted electronics you may have. The process includes sorting, shredding, and the removing of any metal materials that may be present such as steel, iron, or lead. If you are interested in learning more about our document destruction service or our recycling solutions, we welcome you to give us a call. Our team is proud to serve those throughout Stamford, Norwalk, Greenwich, Darien, and Fairfield, CT.
* Each business has different regulations regarding what to shred.
Please contact your Legal Department or Human Resources Department for specifics in your industry.
