cardboard in a paper shredder

Shredding cardboard can be an efficient way to manage your waste and prepare materials for recycling. But can you use a standard paper shredder for this task? In this guide, we’ll explore whether it’s safe and effective to shred cardboard in a paper shredder and provide some useful tips for doing so.

Is it Safe to Shred Cardboard in a Paper Shredder?

While some paper shredders can handle light cardboard, not all are built for this purpose. Here are a few key considerations:

  1. Shredder Type: Our Heavy-duty paper shredders are more likely to handle thin cardboard, like cereal boxes or product packaging. Standard home or office shredders may struggle with thicker materials.
  2. Shredder Capacity: Check the manufacturer’s specifications. If the shredder is rated for higher sheet capacities or specifically mentions the ability to shred light cardboard, it should be safe to use.
  3. Potential Damage: Overloading a standard paper shredder with cardboard can lead to jams or motor burnout. Always err on the side of caution and avoid pushing the limits of your machine.
