Chamber to host recycling day

by

The Shelby County Chamber will have their 5th Annual “Ready to Shred” Recycling Day on Friday, July 17 at the Pelham Civic Complex. 

The Shelby County Chamber’s Existing Business and Industry Work Group is hosting the event along with Gone for Good Document and E-Waste Solutions, The Pelham Civic Complex and Live Nation. It will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Live Nation parking lot next to the Pelham Civic Complex. 

Gone for Good Document and E-Waste Solutions will be on site with a mobile truck for document destruction. There will also be an e-waste drop off area. Both services are free to the public. Over the past four years, more than 500 businesses and individuals brought thousands of pounds of paper and electronic waste.

The acceptable e-waste items businesses and individuals can drop off on include computers, laptops, cell phones, PDAs, DVD players, VCRs, household appliances, communication equipment, office machines, printers, stereos, servers and routers.

Participants are asked to observe the following limits:

  • No more than four banker boxes of paper items.
  • No more than four lawn/leaf bags of acceptable recyclables.
  • No more than four medium plastic storage bins of acceptable recyclables
  • No tubed televisions, tubed computer monitors, batteries or refrigerators.

Participants are asked to wear a mask/face covering at all times and practice social distancing of 6 feet. Chamber staff will be on-site, however participants are expected to handle their own recyclables.
