To clarify your not being taken to task, why would you be. Yard can say and do what it wants. BUT please be specific about that. Telling the forum theres arsenic in things because the yard boss said so is really exactly that, heresay...I spent about fifteen hours since I saw that looking for the usage of arsenic in printers, copiers, plate makers, and when the laws took effect that forbade use of substances with contact toxicity in consumer electronics.
1. I completely believe the yard said and handed you paperwork to prove that they were told about the subject at hand.
2. I also know that if there WERE arsenic in your shred pile or it had been found downstream, your state would be involved in soil testing right now. Arsenic does in fact leech in soil, it does not biodegrade and that is why it's found in grain naturally.
3. Knowing what you know now, I would keep it to yourself and remember what kind of people you work for and/or the companies they deal with who'd rather than accept a percent of plastics in their shred, force a yard to cherry pick with a lie. A lie I might remind you that can cost a yard hundreds of thousands of dollars in hazmat cleanup if anyone thought to follow through on it. It's that kind of company that is dang quick to throw the next guy(or girl) below them under the bus. Go ahead ask me how I know, working for Procter and Gamble was pretty much exactly as I described.
