A modular auger shredder system which includes a plurality of shredder modules arranged in side-by-side relation to form an array of modules which act in concert to process waste material. In a preferred embodiment, the array is mounted on a transverse conveyor, such as a screw conveyor, which transports materials which has passed through the array and has been shredded. Each module includes a housing which defines a grinding chamber, a pair of opposed, counter-rotating auger screws for shredding material within the grinding chamber, end enclosures housing hydraulic motors for driving the screws and side defectors which are shaped to follow the outer contours of the auger screws and guide material into the screws.
