General Office

Shredders that are designed for moderately heavy use - typically 50-150 passes per day and even more for the more robust, higher level models. They are designed to be highly durable and efficient and are quite large in most cases because of the need to hold the large volumes of shredded waste generated in the general office environment. Many models also incorporate waste handling systems, such as mobile shredder bag trolleys and the like and almost all can shred CDs and credit cards as well as deal with fairly high volumes of paper waste. Quite recently, high security models have started to come onto the market that are also capable of dealing with staples and paper clips. Previously these always had to be removed before shredding and this is still the case with the highest security models.
