DC residents may drop off these items between 8 am and 3 pm.
The Department of Public Works' monthly Household Hazardous Waste/E-Cycling/Personal Document Shredding drop-off is Saturday, May 5, between 8 am and 3 pm at the Ft. Totten Transfer Station.
District residents may bring toxic items, such as pesticides, batteries and cleaning fluids to Ft. Totten, along with computers, televisions and other unwanted electronic equipment. Personal document shredding also is available and residents may bring up to five boxes of materials to be shredded. No business or commercial material will be accepted.
To accommodate residents whose religious beliefs prohibit them from using the Saturday drop-off, DPW will accept household hazardous waste and e-cyclables only the Thursday before the first Saturday of the month (May 3, from 1 pm to 5 pm) at Ft. Totten. While DPW normally offers personal document shredding the first Saturday, they cannot accept items for shredding on Thursdays because these documents cannot be protected until the shredding contractor arrives the first Saturday.

This recycling and document shredding event is a good reminder about the need to de-clutter your filing system of unnecessary stuff from time to time. By keeping your files in order, you know for sure that you will be able to retrieve essential files when you need them. This also holds true in a business setting -- the less time spent looking for essential documents, the more time you have in doing other productive tasks.
ReplyDeletepaper shredding and document shredding are same . Document shredding services involve document destruction. A paper shredder is likely the machine used by companies in this enterprise. i think this event is much interesting .
ReplyDeleteThese kind of events, whilst novel for increasing public attention, just aren't relevant any more. With companies like Russell Richardson, Staples and Office Supplies offering dirt cheap solutions; nobody has an excuse not to look after their identity and details anymore!
ReplyDeleteI agree peter there is some many cheap shredding offers from companies like TheShreddingAlliance.co.uk. they offer a great month collection service for really cheap.
