24 tons of paper shredded during event

The DeKalb County Sanitation Division collected and processed 24.12 tons of paper during the paper shredding event held on Saturday, June 9, at the Sanitation Division’s Central Transfer Station.

This Operation Spring Clean Sweep 2018 event provided 995 county residents with an opportunity to responsibly dispose of all types of paper, including sensitive personal documents such as old tax records and legal documents.

“According to the numbers we received from the event’s vendor, A1 Shredding & Recycling, the paper processed during the event saved 410 trees, 9,165 gallons of oil and 168,840 gallons of water,” said Sanitation Division Director Tracy Hutchinson. “We are delighted to do our part to protect the environment and preserve our county’s resources.”

Operation Spring Clean Sweep 2018 is a multidepartmental initiative focused on litter collection, illegal dumping, and removing debris, trash and grass from streets, neighborhoods, sidewalks, roadway drains and county rights of way.
