Paper-shredding event this Saturday at Pendleton Town Hall

Public Information Officer

Niagara County Legislator Tony Nemi announced there will be a paper-shredding event from 9-11 a.m. this Saturday, Aug. 26, at Pendleton Town Hall. The event is open to all Niagara County residents; no registration is required.

“This is a follow up to the paint and paper collection event we did at Starpoint schools in July when a heavy rainstorm interrupted the paper shredding,” Nemi said. “Even in the downpour, we still got 600 cars through the line. But since we could not serve everyone and had a large number of no-shows most likely due to the weather, we decided to provide another opportunity for people to drop off their shredding.”

Nemi stressed this Saturday is for paper only. For those with paint and other household hazardous waste (HHW), there will be collection event on Sept. 23 in Lockport. Information and registration for that event can be found at www.rethinkyourwaste.com/events.
