Shelby County Chamber to hosts recycling events Friday & Saturday

The Shelby County Chamber of Commerce Shelby Beautiful Clean Committee will conduct two important recycling events on the Historic Downtown Center Square.

 

The third annual Document Shred Day will be held this Friday, January 23 from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. and is presented by Allied Waste and sponsored by Farmers State Bank and Shelby Savings Bank. Unneeded sensitive documents will be accepted for secure disposal.

 

The City of Center is the presenting sponsor for Electronics Recycling Day on Saturday, January 24, from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. in a drive-thru fashion on the north side of the Center Square. 

 

Acceptable electronic items include: computers and monitors, televisions, printers, DVD and CD players, microwave ovens, copiers and fax machines, telephones, cell phones and chargers, GPS Units, PDA and Tablets, video and camera equipment and cables and power cords. Those disposing of computers may do so with the confidence that their personal information will remain secure since these machines are completely demolished leaving no means of retrieving any data.

 

Unacceptable items include: NO large household appliances such as refrigerators and dishwashers, NO lawn equipment or anything containing gasoline or liquids, NO heaters and NO smoke detectors.

 

The Shelby County Commissioners Court has made arrangements to accommodate unaccepted items at the Pct. 1 facility at 1306 San Augustine Street in Center, and the Pct. 3 Barn in Joaquin during the recycling event.

 

A more detailed list of what can and cannot be accepted by the recyclers may be found at www.shelbycountychamber.com.

 

These services are provided free to the public as a service of generous presenters and sponsors and the Shelby Beautiful Clean Committee of the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce.
