Upcoming Document Shredding and Electronic Recycling Event
| |
When: |
Saturday, May 9, from 10:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. |
| |
Where: |
Hanover Area Junior/Senior High School, 1600 Sans Souci Parkway, Hanover Township, 18706. |
Residents are invited to take advantage of this no-cost document shredding service, which offers a safe and secure way to dispose of personal paperwork such as old magazines, taxes, and bank statements. Each vehicle is limited to three boxes of documents for shredding.
An electronics recycling program will also be available on-site, handled by a third-party recycling company based in Berwick. This service helps keep electronics out of landfills and prevents illegal dumping.
This event is open to the public and will be held rain or shine.
A second event will be held on Sat, August 8 from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM at Crestwood High School in Mountain Top.
Please contact my offices in Nanticoke, at 570-902-4082, or Mountain Top, at 570-403-2371, with any questions.
