THE BEE COMMUNITY
We are a workplace for people with all abilities to enter into authentic relationships.
Shredder Together
A meaningful solution to your shredding needs.
When we began in 2018, we quickly realized that a trial-task of paper shredding was undeniably a BEE Community favorite. The amount of joy that rapidly spread over many of our artisans’ faces was a sure sign that we would absolutely have to build out a shredding service. This does not only accomplish the beautiful goal of providing deeply meaningful work for many individuals but also contributes to our wider community by providing a service that is greatly needed. We could not imagine something more wonderful!
How It Works
-
Bring your paper by our shop at 3819 Old College Rd. 77801 (Bring your paper in bankers boxes or we will transfer your items into bankers boxes we have at BEE)
-
Have your paper weighed and complete your transaction.
Cost: flat rate of $20 per full bankers box (20-30lbs) , if a box is under 20 lbs we will charge $1 per pound.
Cash, card, or check will all be accepted.
No sales tax.
-
Once shred within 6 months of drop-off, you will receive a certificate of destruction and rest assured that our hardworking artisans have confidentially and jubilantly shred your documents.
what we accept
When it comes to people, we accept EVERYONE. When It comes to shredding paper:
We will happily take any kind of paper with or without staples, paper clips, etc. We accept office paper,receipts, notes, printouts, etc. CDs, DVDs, IDs, credit cards, and passports.
what we do not accept
We will not shred hardcover books, cardboard, binders, or folders. If you choose to leave these things in your submission, they will be discarded without being shred. We also do not accept paper with mold or other significant debris.
Lastly,
Your paper shreds will be recycled one of two ways:
1. Through the local recycling service OR
2. We will take usable shreds and craft artisan-quality stationery so that the shredded paper fibers can go back into the world sending love and belonging in the form of notes and letters.
We love meaningful work, we love contributing to the community, and we love making beautiful products out of something that would otherwise be discarded. This shredding service meets many needs and resounds with purpose.
