May 7th - New Milford Rotary Club's "Spring Cleanup"

Protect Your Identity - Protect the Earth The New Milford Rotary Club's "Spring Cleanup" Community Document Shredding Day will be held on Saturday, May 7, 2016, Lore's Plaza, 145 Danbury Road (across from Arby's) 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.No appointment is necessary. There is no limit to the number of boxes brought to be shredded. Open to residents of all towns. Assistance will be available to help unload boxes. Staff from the shredding company will handle the documents and will shred them while you watch. The mobile on-site document destruction process is efficient and quick. What could take many hours to shred at home can be shred on-site in minutes. The shredded material will then be recycled. Last year approximately 12,000 pounds of paper was collected, shredded and then recycled into paper products. This prevented over six tons of paper from being added to the landfill and translated into 130 trees that did not have to be cut down. Over 100,000 pounds of paper have been shredded to date, saving over 1000 trees.The cost is $10.00 per standard copy paper-type box (larger boxes slightly higher). All money collected will be donated to the New Milford Rotary Club and used within the community to help senior citizens, schools, scholarships, environmental and other local projects. For more information, or if you have a large number of boxes contact Arthur Klein at 860 350-2225 or hillart2@hotmail.com.
