Got E-Recycling? Need Documents Shredded?

Ald. Osterman's office is sponsoring an electronics recycling/paper shredding event this Saturday, May 3rd, between 9am and noon, taking place at the 46th/48th Ward Streets & San Yard (5853 N Broadway).

"Electronic waste will be accepted for appropriate recycling at an event at the 48th Ward Streets & Sanitation Yard co-sponsored by Alderman Harry Osterman, State Representative Kelly Cassidy, State Senator Heather Steans and the Edgewater Environmental Sustainability Project.

It's against the law to put electronics into the regular trash so this is a great opportunity to clear out those old computers, laptops, phones, cameras, small appliances, monitors, etc. Basically anything that gets plugged in or runs on a battery will be accepted except for automobile batteries and very large appliances like refrigerators.

Free document shredding will also be available. You can watch your documents being shredded.  For more information, contact ginger@48thward.org."
