COURT HOUSE — The line of cars on Mechanic Street Saturday, April 4 wasn’t there to get a flu shot, although the string of vehicles resembled that long line.
Drivers of cars waited patiently to have documents, precious and otherwise, shredded at a Middle Township public shredding event aat the Middle Township Public Works yard, 400 Mechanic St.
According to Municipal Recycling Coordinator Andrew Smith, who along with Docu-Vault Systems’ Jackie Sullivan, handed out recycling packets to drivers as they waited their turn at two shredding trucks, it was expected between 10,000 and 12,000 pounds of paper would be pulverized.
Those trucks contained machines that chewed the mass of paper into nothing recognizable. Those former checks, bank statements, letters and bills, and who knows what else, instantly became tiny paper particles.
Smith said the township also expected residents to bring in some 3,000 pounds of cardboard to be recycled at the event.
The entire event was funded by grant funds from recycling.
He said the municipality will also received recycling credits for the tonnage that won’t end up in a landfill.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
