CONYERS — If you're a Rockdale citizen looking to get rid of any excess papers around your home or business, this event may be for you.

Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful is holding its second of two Electronics Recycling & Paper Shredding events from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8 in the parking lot of 1400 Parker Road in Conyers.

During this free event residents and business owners will be able to safely discard and recycle old documents and electronics, regardless of working condition. Participants can access Parker Road from Flat Shoals Road, or from Iris Drive to Royal Drive and Commercial Drive to avoid traffic in the area.

A maximum of four banker boxes will be provided for each vehicle for paper shredding. Participants must provide photo ID as proof of address in the county for both shredding and recycling during the event.

There will be professional electronics recycling and paper shredding companies on hand to securely handle all items on site under the close supervision of government staff. Once the shredding truck is full, shredding services for the day will end, according to a Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful press release.

A cash fee will apply to certain items for electronics recycling, including $25 each for TVs and CRT monitors, but all other electronics are free to recycle, the press release states.

Papers that are loose, folded or in envelopes.

Batteries (alkaline, lithium, UPS, Ni-MH, Ni-CAD, car, motorcycle, rechargeable, laptop)

Cable boxes Hospital equipment Satellite receiver box

readers/processors MP3 players Telephones

Ethernet hubs PDAs (personal digital assistant)

Papers containing foreign objects such as spring loader/binder clips or glue/adhesives

All items brought to the event will be recycled and shredded on a first come, first serve basis. For more information, please contact KCRB at kcrb@rockdalecountyga.gov or 770-278-7050.
