shredding day - 2009

The results from our second Shredding Day show how little efforts joined together can make a difference. More than 200 area residents particpated at the July event, bringing boxes and bags of old paper for shredding and recycling in Shredding Network's state-of-the-art mobile truck.
In three hours time, we collected and prepared 5.2 tons of material for recycling. Repurposing that 5.2 tons of material resulted in the following impact:

Saved 88.4 trees
Prevented 15.6 cubic yards of landfill
Kept 312 pounds of air pollutants out of the air we breath
Saved 104 gallons of water

On top of the environmental impact, participants gave more than $1,100 in donations. Thanks to Shredding Network, which donated the use of their truck, 100% of the proceeds go directly to fund our non-profit mission.

We hope you'll keep recycling!
