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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
