STONE HARBOR – The Borough of Stone Harbor held a successful community paper shredding day on May 18. The event was held on the parking lot at 95th Street and the beach adjacent to the popular Stone Harbor Yard Sale and was an initiative of the Stone Harbor Go Green Community Committee. More than two tons of documents were shredded during the three-hour event.
“We were very excited by the turnout and by the willingness of Stone Harbor property owners to shred their outdated documents”, said Councilwoman Karen Lane, Chairperson of the Go Green Community Committee. “These documents and papers will not wind up in our solid waste stream and were immediately taken to a recycling facility”.
Guardian Document Destruction Company of Mt. Holly, New Jersey conducted the paper shredding event from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. for the Borough. Property owners were encouraged to bring an unlimited amount of documents that would be shredded on site before taken to a recycling facility. Residents were able to personally view the destruction of their documents on site via a closed circuit television monitor.
According to Guardian Document Destruction Company, a total of 4,197 pounds of documents were shredded and recycled during the Stone Harbor paper shredding event.
The Borough last held a community paper shredding event in 2006.
