We have lived in Maryland and now in New Jersey. At both places we found recycling centers where you can get the shredded paper. What you want to get is the trim from newsprint. This is the paper only with no printing on it. If you live near NJ the place is in Jersey City and they even deliver. Galaxy 201-420-4321 ext. 224; ask for Lillian. We use the shredded papers for all our litters and love it. Keeps the puppies clean and makes them easy to housebreak.
