Second Annual E-Recycling/Paper Shredding Event Hosted by The St. Marys EarthKeepers and the Tribune & Georgian.
As the holiday season approaches, many of us look to dispose of unwanted electronics and old paper files. Please hold on to all such items until the New Year – at which time they can be collected and recycled. During last year’s event, St. Marys gathered almost 10 tons of electronic e-scrap. Let’s see if we can beat our own record!
Date: Saturday, January 14, 10 am - 4 pm
Location: The Tribune & Georgian parking lot, 206 Osborne St., St. Marys
Costs: Free except for TVs (small, $10.00. Anything over 30", $20.00)What: Computers, monitors, cables etc, cell phones, copiers, keyboards, printers and other electronic equipment, DVDs, floppy discs, VCR tapes etc.
Details: Recycling E-Scrap is an EPA approved electronic recycling company that meets all H.I.P.P.A. requirements. The company will remove all unwanted or unused electronic equipment, including battery-operated equipment, batteries, non-ferrous metals and plastic.
On the day of the pickup, Recycling E-Scrap contractors will supply the labor to load the equipment onto the truck. At the time of the pickup, a complete inventory list of all the items will be made followed by a secondary inventory once the items arrive at the warehouse in Jacksonville, Fl. The electronics materials are checked in and then completely cleansed of all data. (A "Certificate of Destruction" will then be available after the cleansing process is completed). 100% of all materials are then recycled.
Paper Shredding: The team from Sentry Data Management will be at the location to deal with all of your paper-shredding needs. The shredding process is not done on-site due to the need to remove all staples etc. and sort the material prior to recycling. The company is licensed and bonded and each person who uses the free service receives a Document of Destruction. Sentry is NAID AAA Certified and approved by the GCIC to handle sensitive records.
