As explained above, the apparatus of the present invention is designed to distribute and store copy paper etc. conveyed from copying machines, etc., and to shred and discharge waste paper such as miscopied paper to a designated storage section. .

There is no need to install an independent shredding device in the copy room of a company, etc., as in the past. Furthermore, when it is detected that the storage section is full of shredded waste paper, the shredding operation of the waste paper is stopped, so the shredded waste paper will overflow from the storage section and scatter in the copy room. I am not afraid of such things.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to simply and quickly dispose of waste paper such as miscopied paper, which is increasing rapidly due to the rapid increase in the amount of information in today's information-oriented society.
