Shred-A-Thon
After tax season ends, get rid of unneeded personal paperwork safely and securely. Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 3, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Marysville Community Center, 1015 State Ave. Marysville residents may bring up to six file-size boxes of paperwork for free shredding. Clean Styrofoam and bubble wrap will also be accepted for recycling.
Please do not arrive early. The parking lot will not open until 9 a.m., and residents who arrive after 9:15 a.m. typically get through the line quickest. The event ends at noon or when the shred trucks are full.
Donations of nonperishable food and cash to Marysville Community Food Bank are gratefully accepted at the event or online at www.marysvillefoodbank.com.
