Event: ShredFest! 2009

This one day eCycle event not only gives residents a secure way to recycle old documents, but for the first time collects old cell phones, computers, laptops, parts, peripherals, and office equipment. All of these items have hazardous materials and should not be disposed of with your regular garbage.

Documents for shredding such as: old tax returns, bank statements, check book registers, credit card statements, medical records, NO PLASTIC PLEASE. That means no three ring binders, presentation folders or garbage bags. We'll accept data CD's if they are separated from paperwork. Limit 5 boxes per vehicle.
