Community Shredding Event to benefit libraries

On Saturday, May 15th, the Moore Free Library and Townshend Public Library will co-host a community shredding event from 9:00 AM to Noon. People can bring old paper documents to be safely shredded by a mobile SecurShred truck. It’s okay to have paper clips and staples in the documents. The shredding will happen on the horseshoe lawn of the Windham County Sheriff’s Office on Jail Street in Newfane Village. People can bring up to five banker’s boxes (or equivalent trash bags) at a time. Those who have more than that are asked to go back to the end of the line (if there is a line). The event is a fundraiser for the two libraries and a donation of $10 per banker’s box of papers is suggested. The libraries can accept donations in cash or check, but not credit cards.

A representative from the Windham Solid Waste Management District in Brattleboro will be on hand with an informational table and demonstration about composting and will detail what people can compost in their backyards and what they can compost at the dump in Brattleboro. For more information about the event, please contact the Moore Free Library at 365-7948 or the Townshend Public Library at 365-4039.
