Rock City Waste Paper Co. collected, sorted, and baled wastepaper for sale to paper mills. The Port exports wastepaper, pet and animal feed, scrap metal, fabrics, and soybeans. This takes many attempts and the wastepaper basket fills with discarded sheets. Gruban refused, and Booth threw the note in the wastepaper basket. The only sign of a struggle at the crime scene was one overturned wastepaper bin. The plant can process up to 80,000 tonnes of wastepaper a year. On the committee's recommendation, more than 300 tons of records were sold as wastepaper.
