THREE: The Shredding Event is always incredible.  You can watch your materials being shredded on the video display monitor.  Participants  are invited to bring up to five boxes of confidential documents to shred.  Go-Green and be secure!  Did you know that one three (3) foot high stack of paper is equal to a tree standing thirty (30) feet tall?  After the secure shredding is complete, all materials will become recycled.  This event is open to the public.  Event is located in the front parking lot of Norcross City Hall, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. or until truck is full. 

FOUR: “CAN” Do for Hunger Campaign - Canned Food Collection for local food bank! Clean out your pantry and bring non-perishable food items, to be donated to our local food bank and given to members of our community in need.  We are asking all participants to bring a canned or non-perishable goods to support the 2011 “CAN” Do for Hunger Campaign.  

FIVE: The new PAINT RENEW - Paint Recycling at our previous event was a HUGE success.  We recycled over 2,700 cans of paint.  Paint Recycling is a great way to get rid of those cans that still have that paint you no longer have a use for. Give old paint new life – RECYCLE!  Event is open to the public.  Event located in the parking lot north side of City Hall, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
