Friday was a very busy Shred Day event!  We processed enough papers to fill the shred truck and we really needed a second truck. That's a lot of paper!! 

 

The volunteers from our chamber directors & Shelbyville JCC's were GREAT!!  Without these volunteers, events like this could not be as successful as they are!

 

The Electronics Recycle Event kicked off Saturday and was a HUGE success!  We had a steady stream of donations from 930am until 2pm.

 

With the help of volunteers from the City of Center, Center Middle School JCC's, chamber directors and other caring citizens we managed to collect enough to fill two 18 wheeler trailers! 

 

With the help of the forklift and driver from the Light & Champion, they made quick work of loading these trailers! Packed from one end to the other and then some!    

 

We were very happy with the success of this event, keeping this "stuff" from being thrown in ditches, landfills and other areas.  Instead, it is taken to a recycle facility in Dallas that will shred and separate the material in order to be melted and recycled. 

 

The people of the county love these events and it just shows there is a HUGE need for disposal like this. 

 

We had great success, despite the cold weather, all the volunteers were ROCK STARS!!  I cannot thank them enough for their time and muscle!!
