You've guessed that these aren't your run-of-the-mill shredders! Heck, you turn on one of these paper-eating-monsters and the lights in the room go dim momentarily!! Well, that might be a bit of a stretch, but I promise you that you won't fall asleep at your desk while someone is running the paper shredder!!
The shredders really destroy paper. These shredders cut both horizontally and vertically. In fact, when they get through, each individual chunk of paper.....no, it wouldn't qualify to be called a "chunk".....each "itsy-bitsy" piece of paper is about the size of one of these letters on your computer screen.
Of course, all of this extra effort is for security. We don't want anything sensitive falling into the wrong hands. In fact.....and don't tell this to the EPA.....we burn our trash over here. That's right! You never know what might happen to trash that is buried.....could be dug up in the middle of the night. So, our trash goes out to a big flat spot and is burned while security guards watch over the whole operation.
I joke a little about this, but security is taken seriously. In fact, when I receive any mail, I carefully tear off any return address so that won't fall into the wrong hands. After I've collected a few of these torn-off addresses, I just drop them into that heavy-duty, industrial-strength paper shredder that sits in our office!!! Then I know that I've done my part to keep friends and family safe.
