"The building I am in gets LEED certification and they like to know how much paper has been shredded. On a monthly basis I have a report generated that shows how many lbs. or tons of paper is sent to the shred bin. So if we did not shred anything would they lose that LEED certification?"

I believe the assumption is that shredded paper is then recycled and that is the point of that reporting requirements.  When last I was a corporate records manager, the county where (I live and) one of our major offices was located required businesses to report the amount of paper (among other streams) that is recycled.  We counted both the shredding from the bins located around  the building as well as the boxes taken from the building for shredding and those shredded from our off-site commercial records center collection by our storage vendor as they had come from our building originally.
