Need to shred paperwork but not sure who you can trust?<\/strong> The Eco-Cycle\/City of Boulder Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials (CHaRM)<\/a> is the place to do it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re proud to help Boulder County area residents shred paper securely and sustainably through our partnership with local green paper shredders Altitude DocuShred<\/a>. Founded in 2019, Altitude DocuShred is a NAID AAA certified business<\/a> based in nearby Arvada that has quickly grown to be the premier document shredding service in the Boulder and Denver Metro area\u2014and best of all, 100% of the paper they shred is recycled<\/strong> into new products such as paper towels, toilet paper, and brown bags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Shredding Paper at the Eco-Cycle CHaRM in Boulder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This beats shredding paper at home, as once paper has been shredded, your options for recycling become very limited due to the logistics of collecting, sorting, and maintaining quality control for this material. Shredded paper is not curbside recyclable or compostable in many Colorado communities<\/strong>, including Boulder County. This is unfortunate when paper is one of the most environmentally beneficial materials to recycle, saving water, energy, transportation emissions\u2014and of course, trees<\/a> the planet needs to thrive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is, if you bring your old bank statements, tax documents, and other identity-compromising paperwork to the Eco-Cycle CHaRM in Boulder for shredding, not only do they get recycled, but you can rest assured that your information is handled securely to the highest standards<\/strong> while on-site at the CHaRM, and onward down the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just ask Greg Miller, co-owner and operator of Altitude Docushred: “We became business partners with CHaRM when they were struggling with a vendor they had that did the paper shredding. I met with Justin Stockdale [the director of CHaRM at Eco-Cycle] and we talked over what his main concern was: security, and customer service, and that’s really our bailiwick. It’s been a great relationship for a couple of years now.” <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This family-owned and operated local business<\/strong> has a mobile shredding service area in Colorado that includes anywhere from Cheyenne, Wyoming, all the way down the Front Range to Colorado Springs; as far east as Aurora, and west to Golden. While they do not service locations in the mountains, Greg adds, “We’ll work with companies that are in areas where we don’t go, and they’ll bring it down into our drop-off area, where we’ll shred it in one of our trucks.”<\/p>\n\n\n

Documents dropped off at the Eco-Cycle CHaRM in Boulder are assessed a small fee for quantities equal to one or more “banker’s boxes” (check our fee chart for current pricing<\/a>), and then customers are welcome to empty their container into our large blue vault containing wheeled collection toters that are out of reach from the drop-off window, locked securely outside of business hours, and regularly emptied into Altitude’s state-of-the-art mobile shredding truck to be shredded right here on-site. Your documents never leave the property intact when dropped off at the CHaRM in Boulder.<\/strong> If you live at a distance from CHaRM, you may also be glad to know that Altitude offers drop-off shredding service at their main office and warehouse in Arvada, Colorado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
