Paper shredders are maintained using lubrication substrates that have been treated with or that carry a lubricant. The lubrication substrate is fed through the shredding mechanism of a paper shredder. Rather than requiring disassembly of the paper shredder, maintenance and lubrication can be performed by passing the lubrication substrate through the shredding mechanism. The lubrication substrates can take any of a variety of forms, such as a tissue that is encased in a cellophane or plastic envelope and is impregnated with oil. The lubrication substrates can instead have an array of small tubes that carry oil. In another example, the lubrication substrates can take for them of a bubble sheet that carries oil within the bubbles.

The invention claimed is: 1. A lubrication sheet for lubricating a paper shredder, comprising: a lubrication substrate that is configured to be passed through a shredding mechanism of the paper shredder; a lubricant carried by the lubrication substrate; and one or more shell layers adjacent to the lubrication substrate, wherein the one or more shell layers provide mechanical stiffness and rigidity to the lubrication sheet. 2. The lubrication sheet of claim 1, wherein the lubrication substrate comprises a substrate that is impregnated with the lubricant. 3. The lubrication sheet of claim 2, wherein the lubrication substrate is formed from a fluoropolymer resin. 4. The lubrication sheet of claim 1, wherein the one or more shell layers comprise two shell layers, one on either side of the lubrication substrate, the two shell layers forming a shell that is substantially impermeable to the lubricant. 5. The lubrication sheet of claim 1, wherein the one or more shell layers are formed from cellophane. 6. The lubrication sheet of claim 1, wherein the one or more shell layers are formed from a polymeric material. 7. The lubrication sheet of claim 1, further comprising a decomposition agent that is carried by the lubrication substrate and is capable of facilitating the decomposition of paper that has been shredded by the paper shredder. 8. A lubrication sheet for lubricating a paper shredder, comprising: a lubrication substrate that is configured to be passed through a shredding mechanism of the paper shredder; and a lubricant carried by the lubrication substrate wherein the lubrication substrate comprises corrugated tissue paper. 9. The lubrication sheet of claim 8, wherein the lubrication substrate comprises a substrate that is impregnated with the lubricant. 10. The lubrication sheet of claim 9, wherein the lubrication sheet further comprises one or more shell layers adjacent to the lubrication substrate. 11. The lubrication sheet of claim 8, wherein the lubrication substrate further carries a decomposition agent that is released when the lubrication sheet is passed through the shredding mechanism, such that the decomposition agent facilitates the decomposition of paper that has been shredded by the paper shredder. 12. The lubrication sheet of claim 8, further comprising one or more shell layers adjacent to the corrugated tissue paper. 13. A lubrication sheet for lubricating a paper shredder, comprising: a lubrication substrate that is configured to be passed through a shredding mechanism of the paper shredder; and a lubricant carried by the lubrication substrate, wherein the lubrication substrate comprises an array of tubes containing the lubricant. 14. The lubrication sheet of claim 13, further comprising: one or more shell layers adjacent to the lubrication substrate. 15. The lubrication sheet of claim 14, wherein the one or more shell layers provide mechanical stiffness and rigidity to the lubrication substrate. 16. The lubrication sheet of claim 13, wherein the tubes of the lubrication substrate further contain a decomposition agent. 17. A lubrication sheet for lubricating a paper shredder, comprising: a lubrication substrate that is configured to be passed through a shredding mechanism of the paper shredder; and a lubricant carried by the lubrication substrate, wherein the lubrication substrate comprises a bubble sheet having a two dimensional array of bubbles that contain the lubricant. 18. The lubrication sheet of claim 17, wherein the bubbles of the lubrication substrate further contain a decomposition agent. 19. The lubrication sheet of claim 17, further comprising: one or more shell layers adjacent to the lubrication substrate. 20. The lubrication sheet of claim 19, wherein the one or more shell layers comprise two shell layers, one on either side of the lubrication substrate. 21. A method for lubricating a shredding mechanism of a paper shredder, comprising: obtaining a lubrication sheet that includes: a lubrication substrate that is configured to be passed through the shredding mechanism of the paper shredder, wherein the lubrication substrate comprises an array of tubes containing the lubricant; and a lubricant carried by the lubrication substrate; and passing the lubrication sheet through the shredding mechanism of the paper shredder such that the lubrication sheet is shredded and the lubricant is applied to the shredding mechanism. 22. A structure for delivering a decomposition agent to paper that has been shredded by a paper shredder, comprising: a substrate that is configured to be passed through a shredding mechanism of the paper shredder; and a decomposition agent that is carried by the substrate and is capable of facilitating the decomposition of paper that has been shredded by the paper shredder after the substrate has been passed through the shredding mechanism. 23. The structure of claim 22, wherein the substrate further carries a lubricant, such that the lubricant is applied to the shredding mechanism when the structure is passed through the shredding mechanism. 24. The structure of claim 22, wherein the decomposition agent comprises a microbial agent.
