First Christian Reformed Church of Grand Haven will once again conduct its electronics recycling event on Friday, May 4 (1-4:00 p.m.) and Saturday, May 5 (9:00 a.m. – 12:00 N).  

First CRC’s FREE Electronics Recycling Event over the past two years has been very successful.  Last year 38,449 pounds of electronics were safely recycled – two semi trailers and a box truck full of TVs, computers, monitors, keyboards, printers, radios, DVD & VCR players, game playing equipment, and more.  Volunteers accepted anything that plugged in or ran on a battery.  

Environmentally safe recycling of electronics requires special handling.  For the E-Recycle Event on Friday, May 4 and Saturday, May 5 First CRC has again partnered with CompRenew Environmental of Grand Rapids, a Universal Waste Handler licensed by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.  

Spring Lake, MI--Shred Docs will be at Spring Lake District Library on Saturday, April 21 to provide free shredding services for the community. The Shred Docs mobile unit will be in the library’s parking lot from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Individuals may bring up to 100 pounds of paper to have shredded.

This “Free Shred Day” is an excellent way to protect and preserve the environment as Shred Docs recycle the documents they shred.  Shredding sensitive personal documents like cancelled checks, tax records, and credit card statements is also a good way to help prevent identity theft and credit card fraud.

For more information about this event, call the library at (616) 846-5770, ext. 107.  The library is located at 123 E. Exchange Street in Spring Lake.
