Compacted, baled paper at the Bonzi Recycling yard waiting transport to recycling facilities around the world. At 3,000 tons per month, diverting this 'waste' from our landfills saves 9,900 cubic yards of landfill space, and 9,000 barrels of oil. This equates to enough energy to heat 3,000 average sized homes for six months. The recycling of this much paper also saves an estimated 48,000 trees.
