Does anyone know of anywhere between Wick & Inverness where I can buy bales of shredded paper?
It makes great beds for the dogs in their kennels.
Thanks.

We have quite a few bin bags of shredded paper at my work and we have no where to get rid of it. I could have a word and see if you could have them if that is any use? Will let you know.

That would be great!
You could get yourself quite a little business going on there, I bet theres a few people that would find a need for it.

Have you tried the hospital, they have tons of it every evening.

Thanks for the replies.
Mr Cannop, I'd be most interested if you have a decent amount. Not being picky it's just the dogs beds are huge affairs and need to be quite deep otherwise they'll end up with elbow sores. Nasty!
Fran, i never thought to try the hospital. Thanks for that!

Gosh, I'd say at least 4 bin bags.
Their beds are really quite big and although their kennels are insulated and heated, the bedding needs to be quite thick for danes as they don't have thick coats to protest those areas that get rubbed.

The only thing to be careful of porshie, is if there is staples or paper clips in the shredded paper. I know the new shredder we have got can shred staples and paper clips etc as well as credit cards and cd's! Although i am sure if you emptyed the bags and gave them a good shake then the staples etc would fall out. Could be nasty if you are using it for dogs bedding.

I can get you 5 or 6 bin bags that only contain shredded paper. Do you want them?

Another thing you can do porshie is if you buy a shredder you can shred all your old newspaper and magazine just a thought .
