GREENWHEATON WILL HOST A PAPER SHREDDING & ELECTRONIC RECYCLING EVENT
On
Saturday, April 19, 2014, from 9 am to 12 noon, GreenWheaton will host a
paper shredding and electronic recycling event in the Signal Financial
Federal Credit Union Parking Lot in Kensington MD
This event is a
part of GreenWheaton’s continuing efforts to promote its “green”
programming and projects in the Wheaton community.
For the fourth
year, Office Paper Systems, providers of freesecureshredding.com, a
shredding company located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, will provide the
shredding service. The community is invited to bring all of their
unwanted paper to be securely shredded on site in the parking lot. For
the first time freesecureshredding.com will also be collecting
electronics. Residents can also bring their unwanted computers,
electronics and small appliances for disposal. More information about
acceptable items may be found at http://www.freesecureshredding.com/green-community-service/.
Volunteers
are needed to help direct traffic and coordinate the vehicles dropping
off documents and equipment. For more information on volunteering
