It’s time for Ken Graff’s annual free shredding event, and this year the event has expanded to address all of your Spring cleaning needs. This Saturday, May 14th, from 10am to 1pm you can take household items and clothing for donation to the event as well as the usual paperwork for secure shredding and electronics for recycling.
Ken has partnered with Northwest Center for the donation portion of the event. The local nonprofit will be on hand to take donations of clothing, housewares, and sporting equipment.
For electronics like CRT monitors and old TVs, they will either be properly recycled or, if salvageable, these electronic items will be reused via Interconnection, a nonprofit that helps get technology to both nonprofits and low income families. Two great nonprofits on-hand at the event!
For the paperwork shredding, a large shredding truck will be on-site for secure shredding while you watch. A perfect way to clean out paperwork post-tax season.
The event will also have food on-site – coffee, doughnuts, and Dante’s Inferno Dogs. Plus, the location lends itself to views – the event will be on Lake Union, in the lower parking lot of McCormick and Schmick’s parking lot at 1200 Westlake Ave N. Free parking makes it all even easier, and signs will direct you down the ramp to the lake level.
Start scouring your home now for any paperwork, old electronics, clothing, household items, sporting goods – load them up and head to the lake this Saturday between 10am and 1pm. Secure shredding plus donations to two local nonprofits and lake views, a great way to kick off your weekend!
