All <br /> residents of Indian River County were invited to bring up to three boxes/bags of paper(up to 35 lbs.each) <br /> to be shredded and recycled at no cost. The event was held from 9 am to 2 pm at Southeast Secure <br /> Shredding located at 3910 U.S. Highway 1 in Vero Beach. <br /> Within the first hour,we greeted and unloaded 150 cars. By the end of the event,606 cars participated in <br /> the drop off service. Southeast Secure Shredding shredded 9.57 tons of paper onsite during the event. <br /> Southeast Secure Shredding charged$5 per vehicle. However,there was no cost to SWDD or residents as <br /> Waste Management covered the vehicle cost. We look forward to working with Waste Management on <br /> future paper shredding events. <br /> A special thank you to the Indian River County Sheriff's Department for their volunteer efforts during this <br /> event. They were instrumental in directing the long lines of traffic and keeping US Highway 1 moving. <br /> SWDD and Waste Management are pleased to be partnering with them again during our Household <br /> Hazardous Waste and Electronics event coming up on Saturday,August 22,2020. <br /> At our last shredding event held in April 2019,731 cars participated and 9.8 tons of material was shredded. <br /> In comparison, at this event 606 cars participated and 9.57 tons of material was shredded. This is <br /> confirmation of how popular this event is with residents,as well as how consistently successful it is for a <br /> community recycling event. <br /> q - <br /> k�1{ tr 1} .L _ ?; <br /> r <br /> w �' :' 9 <br />
