Fireproof has been securely transporting company records and other materials to our secure shredding facility for over 30 years.

Did You Know?

Once your records arrive at our high-security facility they are destroyed using premium, industrial-grade shredders that render the information unreadable. All shredded materials are baled and shipped directly to a recycling plant to be turned into pulp. 100% of our materials are recycled.  Always. Everyday.

Here are some other recycling facts that we found interesting:

• More than 56 percent of the paper consumed in the US during 2007 was recovered for recycling- an all-time high.
• In total, 54.3 million tons of paper and paper board products were recovered last year in the United States- approximately 360 pounds for every man, woman and child in the country, up from 233 pounds per person in 1990.
• The amount of paper being recovered far exceeds the amount sent to landfill sites. Every ton of paper that is recovered saves 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space.
• Enough paper was recovered for recycling last year to fill 130 Empire State Buildings.
• Since 1990, when the paper industry established its first recovery goal to advance recycling in the US, paper recovery has grown by more than 87 percent.
