April 5– Green Saturday Results–
I am pleased to announce the results from the “K-Tech Free Document Shredding Event” — they shredded over 35,000 pounds of paper. Which in visual terms is about 1.5 semi-trailers or approximately 6000 cubic feet of material!!!
As you are aware — State Law and County ordinance requires all businesses and residential customers to recycle. Although it’s against the law, many of us still dispose of paper products in our garbage. As a result of this, today’s landfills still contain about 30-40% paper products. Many of us might not feel comfortable recycling our sensitive documents using our curbside collection. By properly disposing of 35,000 pounds of sensitive documents and transporting the material for use at a local paper mills, we’ve saved valuable landfill space, energy and resources in the production of new paper, and at least 200 trees!!!
