The event brought in 563 cars and recycled 17,848 lbs. <br />of paper, which is slightly higher than last fall's event that brought in 450 cars and recycled <br />approximately 15,500 lbs. of paper. With the growing popularity of the Paper Shredding Events, SWDD <br />had requested the presence of two deputies from the Indian River County Sheriff's Office to be onsite <br />to assist with any traffic backing up onto US Highway 1. Backups onto US Highway 1 were rare and very <br />brief, but SWDD was grateful to the Sheriff's Department and the deputies who volunteered. In the <br />spring, we will host another Paper Shredding Event at Southeast Secure Shredding (3910 US Highway <br />1) on April 7, 2018, from 9 am to 2 pm. Our next recycling event is the Electronics and Household <br />Hazardous Waste Event on January 27,, 2018, at the North County Pool from 9 am to 12 pm. NWI <br />Recycling has generously donated a brand new laptop that will be raffled off to residents who recycle <br />at the event. <br />
