The Challenges

Think before you park...You should always pay attention to the spot you choose to park in. Especially if it's a reserved spot and there's an industrial shredder is nearby. Your car might find a fate worse than a tow truck.

Likewise, you should be careful of the materials you choose to put into your shredding machinery. Not all shredders are created equal, and most shredders are not built to shred cars (or other materials with thick, heavy steel components).

The Solution

When you need to shred the tough stuff, you can count on SSI's PRI-MAX™ to handle almost everything. While it's not an "auto shredder", our PR-4000M takes on this VW Bug to show off its capabilites. PRI-MAX is best suited for mixed bulky waste such as appliances, construction and demolition debris, baled materials, and unsorted municipal waste.
