Over $6,000 on Shredders
Using information from our new transparency website, IllinoisOpenGov.org, I found that in 2008 and 2009 (up until the time of our FOIA requests), the Department of Commerce spent $6,339.68 on paper shredders purchased from Office Depot Inc. The most expensive shredders were the Ativa Cross-Cut Shredder which the department spent $2,598.39 on in 2009, and the C-380 Strip-Cut Shredder which cost the department $1,434.30 in 2008.
You can find this information for yourself by going to IllinoisOpenGov.org, clicking on the “Checks to Businesses & People” Section and searching for “Shredder” under the “category of spending section.”
