all the yards around here consider that stealing...i have seen folks do it and get by with it...my main yard will warn you the 1st time you do it, after that if they catch you taking things they will ban you from the yard...

my yard will sale you anything from the shred pile for 30 cents per pound...it usually ends up being even cheaper than that if you buy a couple hundred pounds they drop the price to 15 to 20 cents per pound...i think that is a great deal...



i would just ask the yard how much they will charge you to buy there shred...you may be surprised at there answer
