Marie Kondo your drawers and tech bins, Rockdale County citizens—it's time to declutter with a purpose. Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful (KCRB) and Rockdale County are gearing up for the annual Paper & Electronic Shredding Day. Set your calendars for September 27, and head over to 1400 Parker Road, Conyers, GA 30094 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. with your dusty stacks of paper and old gadgets that have been gathering dust. This event is exclusively for the residents and business owners of Rockdale, offering a secure way to say goodbye to those confidential documents and e-waste, as announced on the Rockdale County website.
Now, let's talk logistics. You'll need to keep it tight by bringing no more than four banker boxes of paper per vehicle to shred. Cramming a Cut Above Shredding's trucks, the professional paper shredding company has got you covered with on-site services. Once they're packed to the gills, that's all she wrote—the shredding party's over. Before you drop off, don't forget to remove any non-paper foes like binder clips or adhesives.
When it comes to electronics, it's a no-go for those CRT dinosaurs and microwaves, but Work4Eli, a pro electronic recycling outfit, is willing to take off your hands some other modern-day relics for off-site recycling. And yes, they'll even take those tangled masses of Christmas lights. You can also cart your e-waste to Work4Eli's place—free of charge—any weekday. Just bear in mind, no certificates of destruction for these general drop-offs.
Proof of residency isn't just a smiling photo; you need it to participate. So, bring a photo ID that shows you live or own a business in Rockdale to the event, which is, of course, subject to cancellation if the weather decides to throw a tantrum. In the event the sky opens up and the shredding trucks cower inoperable, the entire event will be shuffled to a new date.
But wait—there's more than just shredding and recycling. KCRB is scouting for volunteers to help with the event's hustle and bustle. Eager hands can help set up the scene at 8:00 a.m., break down the stage until 2:00 p.m., guide traffic, or assist citizens with unloading their cargo. If playing the good Samaritan is your jam, hit up the KCRB Advisory Council at [email protected], or dial 770-278-7052 to sign up.
