Now that tax returns for 2012 have been filed, what to do with 1992 tax information still cluttering the file cabinet? The City of Largo hosts Shredfest, the free, paper shredding event where residents can bring their personal documents to be securely shredded and recycled. This one-day only event will take place Saturday, April 20, 9am-1pm at 1551 Starkey Road.
“This drive-thru event makes it easy for the public to ensure their personal documents are handled properly by ProShred's mobile shredding trucks,” said Marissa Segundo, Largo's Recycling Coordinator.
Attendees can bring up to five file boxes of paper per car to be shredded and recycled. There is no need to remove staples, tape, paper clips or rubber bands.
In celebration of Earth Day, ProShred will recycle all shredded data. File boxes will be collected by the City of Largo and recycled.
“This is a winning event for residents and the environment,“ said Segundo. “Last Shredfest we recycled 22,800 pounds of shredded paper saving 194 trees.”
