City of Mesa to host document shredding event
Mesa residents have the opportunity to not only protect the environment and their identity but also to help support a local Valley non-profit all at the same time.
The City of Mesa will be hosting a Shred-A-Thon event from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012, at the Center Street Facility, 2412 N. Center St. There is no cost to take advantage of this event, but the following conditions apply:
· Event is open to Mesa residential customers only
· Five box limit on documents to be shredded per household (Max. box size: 12”x12”x18”)
· Material will not be accepted from commercial businesses
Residents are asked to clearly mark their boxes with the words ‘To Be Shredded’ so event staff can quickly unload their items. Once shredded, collected material will be recycled and kept out of the landfill.
The event is being sponsored by the City of Mesa Solid Waste Management Department and the Arizona Center for the Blind Document Destruction and Recycling Center, who annually provide a portion of their profits to the Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, a local non-profit United Way agency.
For more information about the event, call City of Mesa Customer Service at (480) 644-2221 or visit www.mesarecycles.org.
