Community Shred Day Yields 321 Boxes of Paper

The annual Community Shred Day on May 19 resulted in 321 boxes of papers being collected.

"There was a very good turnout," Councilwoman Patsy Mills said. "It was a very busy day and it worked out very well."

About 200 of the boxes were from residents, with the remainder coming from files that were stored in the old Village Hall, which is slated for demolition this summer.

For its efforts, the village received a Green Award from Cintas, which noted that the amount of paper shredded represented 11 cubic yards of waste being diverted from landfills and recycling the material will save 63 trees.
