Rotary Club of Lindsay Annual Shred Day
The Rotary Club of Lindsay held it’s annual shred, “E” waste and scrap metal disposal day on Saturday September 23rd. It ran from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. and was held at Waste-Logix at 2829 Hwy 35 south across from Carmax Hyundai. The public started to arrive about the 9:15 A.M. mark and the last vehicle left at 3:15 P.M. The Rotary members and guests shredded 11 tons (10,000 KG) of confidential paper documents which will all go back into recycled paper. They also gathered approximately 4000 pounds (1850 KG) of “E” waste and 1000 pounds (455 KG) of scrap metal.
The Rotary Club picked up documents to be shredded and stored them in a secure facility located at Waste-Logix until the big shred day. Donations of “E” waste were also picked up and stored until the same day. The Club charged $7.00 per bankers box to be shredded and the “E” waste and scrap metal were accepted on a no charge basis. Other participants in this project besides Waste-Logix were Miller Waste Systems and Lindsay Iron and metal located on Halter Road. It was a perfect day for this event and lunch was donated by Charlie and Amy McDonald who own the Grand Experience Restaurant in Lindsay. Although the exact financial information is not yet available, it is estimated that this project will add to the Club’s fundraising by $10,000.00. The funds will be used for Community projects around Town like the Wilson Field washroom project which should be completed by the end of October and their sights are now on a new splash pad for Elgin Park located on Angeline Street North. The Rotary Club would very much like to thank all the participants who took part in this project with them and the public who supported this project.
