Steve, events like this are great to raise awareness about recycling and obviously to safely dispose of items.  We do them in my area too.

Steve:  I'd love to know if the shred truck will shred real estate files.  I have quite a few very old ones to get rid of... and shredding them by hand can be very tedious.  Thanks for the heads-up !

Sounds like a great way to get rid of these unwanted items.  Thanks for letting us know.

Recycling is the big thing that gets me here in Austin.  My husband "forced" me to recycle up there and it was great because they accepted basically everything.  Once it became a habit, I'm not allowed to recycle most things here in the green city of Austin.  They don't even take cereal boxes!

Steve we have one of those each year here in New Braunfels; items they would not take in the weekly recycle. It's a good thing, but the long line of folks waiting in their cars and trucks can be up to an hour.
