Paper shredding offered for Children’s Services gift drive

Toys collected for children

The Wood County Commissioners, Wood County Solid Waste District and Wood County Children’s Services are sponsoring a paper shredding event in exchange for toys, gift cards or cash donation.

On Saturday, Nov. 14, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., people with personal papers to shred can bring them to the Wood County Job and Family Services employee parking lot (west side), 1928 E. Gypsy Lane Road, Bowling Green.

For the donation of an unwrapped toy, gift card or cash donation, to the Wood County Children’s Services Holiday Gift Drive, the public can securely shred up to five bags or boxes of paper items. Allshred Services will shred all the items on site, and the paper will be repurposed into tissue products.

Wood County Children’s Services is involved with children from newborn through teenagers and is encouraging the public who participate in this event to remember this when selecting toys or gifts for the drive.
