Protect yourself from identity theft: Community Paper Shred Day, Saturday, April 13 at Mentor Library

Posted on by Lenore Collins
On Saturday, April 13, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Mentor Public Library invites Mentor residents and library patrons to bring documents to be shredded to the Main Library’s auxiliary parking lot at the corner of Mentor Avenue and Sharonlee Drive (map).

Mentor Public Library is hosting the Community Paper Shred event in partnership with XPress Shredding of Mentor, at no cost to the library or participants. The event will go on no matter the weather: rain or shine, or even (oh, please, no!) snow.

How much of your paper will be accepted?

Bring as many as five paper-storage boxes of documents (paper grocery bags are acceptable), which will be:

  • Unloaded from your car (you don’t need to get out of your vehicle).
  • Placed into locked bins.
  • Moved to a secured truck attended at all times by XPress Shredding staff.
  • Taken to XPress Shredding’s facility to be thoroughly destroyed.
  • Finally, recycled.

Protect your identity: shred your documents, and Keep Them Out of the Landfill.

About those Target hangers …

Posted on by Lenore Collins

Almost two years ago, I posted a notice saying that Target stores will take back plastic-and-metal hangers. Two of you corrected me: Target will take back its own hangers, but not others. It’s taken me way too long to do this, but I finally corrected my original post. If you’re still in doubt about how Target recycles hangers, here’s the corrected post.

An overdue thank you goes to the kind readers who called my attention to my error, and, of course, thanks to all of you who read my blog.
