I have large amounts of shredded paper, mostly white, that I need to dispose of. What method to you recommend? Are there companies who would be interested in purchasing this shredded paper?

Its a great thing that they make recycle the papers and save lots of papers and other things.
Good thought and great work.

I have been using shredded computer paper, bills, junk mail (minus the glossy print) and newspaper as mulch on my garden. So far, it seems to be working ok. The only that worries me is the ink from the toners. In my reasearch I found that toners were carbon based or plastic based and no one seemed to know what either of these would do the soil. Hopefully, I am not damaging it too bad – I just started so I figured if I found out it wasn’t such a good thing to do – I could reverse the damage.
I also found we can put shredded paper in the compost pile.
Thanks
