CASE STUDY: Super Shredder® - Just What The Warden Ordered.

Inmates in correctional institutions have found a new pastime. By flushing oversized items down their toilets they either accidentally or deliberately cause the facility’s wastewater to back up. Often the goal is to gain extra time out of the cell. By flooding their cell or cell block, they force the facility to move them during the cleanup period. These misdeeds have often been rewarding ....that is up until now!

Case History

A women’s correctional institution had a major problem with plugging of pumps and plumbing systems. Inmates were flushing every conceivable item into the sewage system including tampons, aluminum cans, pillow cases, pants, full blankets, and bed sheets. The result was repeated sewage backup and flooding.
