The problem with this particular type of carbon is that it is rolled up
onto a very thick, very solid (almost solidified) cardboard core which
binds in shredder blades and often breaks or seriously damages them. (I
have had intimate experience with this type of fax machine, not all of
it good.) In general, Janie is correct that carbon paper is not
recyclable and many commercial shredding firms will not take it for that
reason.  I also agree with the many that suggested a change of hardware
should be considered by your client.  But meanwhile, they do have to
deal with the carbons already generated.
