Shred, recycle and donate in one easy step

Nancy McCluskey-Moore

Is your home cluttered with useless paper files and electronics? Pack up those unwanted items and bring them to the Shredding and Recycling Event on Saturday, November 11 from 9:00 a.m. to noon (or until the truck is full). We’ll show you how we make the most of compactor waste balers for rent and purchase from phs Greenleaf to reduce your waste back into its original form, and use it to create brand new products. The event, hosted by Long Realty – Golder Ranch, SaddleBrooke Community Outreach and the Beacon Foundation will be held at the SaddleBrooke HOA 1 bocce ball courts.

To protect your privacy, all documents are put into containers at the drop-off site. The containers are then locked and transported to the Beacon facility for shredding. If you’re thinking of recycling your paper documents, it might also be best if you were to scan each paper quickly to asses if it’s still pertinent information to yourself, if so, you might want to copy the contents into your computer system and utilize file management software (like this at filecenterdms and other similar software you can find online) to ensure you can keep track of everything that you may still need.

In addition to documents, the following items will be accepted for donation/recycling: Computers, laptops and servers; mouse, keyboard, cables, cords; DVD players, VHS players; speakers, stereo equipment; phones and cell phones; printers, Fax machines; adding machines, calculators; batteries – alkaline and rechargeable

These items will NOT be accepted for recycling: appliances; microwaves; computer monitors; televisions

For each boxful of items you drop off for shredding or recycling, please bring $5 or five cans of food. All donations of cash or food will benefit the Tri-Community Food Bank and the Beacon Foundation.
