Shredding and Electronics Recycling Event November 7
SaddleBrooke Community Outreach (SBCO) and Long Realty are partnering to offer a “Shredding and Electronics Recycling Event” on Saturday, November 7, from 8:00 a.m. to noon. It will be in the SaddleBrooke HOA One parking area in front of the Bocce Ball Court.
The shredding and recycling will be done by the Beacon Secure Document Destruction Services. They offer secure document destruction; no need to worry about paper clips, staples or file folders. The media destruction includes compact disks (CD), video tapes, film, photos, etc. They will also be recycling computers, printers, phones, monitors and flat screen televisions; unfortunately, older televisions are no longer accepted. You may also dispose of your old microwave ovens and toasters. Other office equipment they accept is adding machines, calculators, rechargeable and alkaline batteries.
Beacon Secure Document Destruction Services is a division of the Beacon Foundation, the largest employer of disabled Americans. The employees are uniformed professionals who have met background and drug testing requirements and are AAA NAID certified, standards-setting body for the document destruction industry.
Bring your documents, old computers, printers, etc. and destroy them safely without being concerned that your data will be compromised. To support this effort, we ask that you donate five cans of food or $5 per box to be destroyed. Donations will benefit the Tri-Community Food Bank.
