The event is presented by the City of Gaithersburg in partnership with the Gaithersburg Environmental Affairs Committee, Clean Cut Shredding and eAsset Solutions. While the shredding services are free, food donations to support the efforts of the Gaithersburg HELP pantry would be very much appreciated.

Acceptable items for shredding include all types of paper, including receipts, tax and medical records, and financial and legal documents. Paper with staples and paperclips (no binder clips) will be accepted, as will envelopes with plastic windows. If paper is in 3-ring binders or is spiral bound, please remove the bindings before you come to the event. Learn more about shredding at www.gtownpaper.com. eAsset Solutions accepts just about any computer-related electronics of any age, including mobile phones, CPUs, CDs, towers, monitors, laptops, tablets, printers, scanners, LCD, LED and Plasma TVs, telephone equipment, used printer cartridges, VCRs, and DVD players. Note that hard drives from computer devices will be removed. Electronic items NOT accepted for recycling at this event include light bulbs, alkaline batteries, other types of televisions, vacuum cleaners, kitchen appliances, and refrigerators.
