Paper Recycling Services Melbourne

Always 100% Sustainably Shredded and Recycled

Need paper recycling in Melbourne or surrounding areas? In the document destruction industry there’s a misconception that all document destruction companies automatically recycle your shredded waste paper. Unfortunately, this is not always the case!

Many large corporate shredding companies don’t actually recycle all of their shredding paper. They may however make vague claims to being “green” and “environmentally friendly” -- without backing it up with facts.

At Corporate Document Destruction we believe that it’s only responsible to recycle 100% of all our shredded paper. It’s simply the right thing to do! And our clients agree. They appreciate the fact that we’re helping them to be an active part of the sustainability process by ensuring that their waste paper is transformed into other paper products such as cardboard boxes, toilet paper, hand towels, kitty litter.. And more!

Closing the Loop: How is your paper recycled by VISY?

“Our commitment to recycling has driven us to close the loop for packaging. We go beyond collecting and sorting recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, glass, plastics, and metals by locally remanufacturing them into new, sustainable packaging. By making new products from old, we’re keeping these materials at their highest and most effective use. 

Our extensive network of recycling operations, including one of Australia’s first and largest materials recovery facility (MRF), is integrated with our manufacturing sites. By doing this, we are ensuring a reliable and robust recycling system residents and businesses can rely on. 

Through our $2 billion investment pledge we are transforming recycling and manufacturing through the latest technology, including Australia’s first drum pulper, cutting-edge optical sorters and clean energy. ” - Read more about VISY’s paper recycling process here.

The team at Corporate Document Destruction (CDD) are fantastic. We have used their confidential bin service for over 5 years! They are always reliable and very accommodating with special deliveries of extra bins and special pick-ups. Alex is very professional and a pleasure to deal with. It's nice to be able to pick up the phone and speak to the team and trust your request will be sorted. Great service and team! Thanks.

Angela, HR, The University of Melbourne

I haven’t had a chance until now to say thank you very much for all your years of service to our office.  Nothing was ever too much trouble for you.

Anna Bencic, Worksafe Victoria

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your assistance with this project. It was quite demanding and required a fairly big effort from yourself the rest of your team.

I believe I will be contacting you again in perhaps 2-4 weeks with a view to destroying additional tapes. As the previous task was fairly large, I will endeavour to reduce the quantity per day of destruction, so we may have another 2 trips to plan. Nonetheless, as soon as we are ready, I’ll be in touch.

Cannot believe the response time - called Alex and he was in my office with his trolley within two minutes. TALK ABOUT EFFICIENT!!! Can't ask for better service than that :)

Thank you Alex!

We had a huge amount of document destruction to be undertaken and imagined it would take days but in fact it was completed in a matter of hours! The process was so easy and Alex is a pleasure to deal with. Very reliable, efficient and trustworthy with sensitive documents. Your service is absolutely fantastic- thank you again

Melbourne Spine Institute

Thank you for the quick and friendly service from the team at Corporate Document Destruction. I was very impressed with the fact that when I called I spoke directly to a human being (no call centre!), and they made my pick up their highest priority. Thanks again!

Meri H., CEO, Digital Marketing Company, Melbourne CBD

Thanks to Alex and the team at Corporate Document Destruction for their excellent and efficient service. We have a home office and had accumulated a few plastic tubs of documents that were too sensitive and personal to be thrown in the recycle bin. After talking with Alex he organised a bin to be delivered, the driver helped us load all our documents into the secure bin and took it right away. I never realised this would be so easy.
