Public can get papers shredded and help foster children at same time

Wood County Commissioners, Wood County Solid Waste District and Wood Children Services are sponsoring a paper shredding event for gift cards or cash donations.

The shredding will be available Saturday, June 18, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Northwood High School parking lot, 600 Lemoyne Road, Northwood, for donation of a gift card or cash donation to Wood County Children Services. 

The donations will be used for foster children’s birthday and Christmas gifts. Wood County Children Services is involved with children from newborn through teenagers.

The public can securely shred up to five bags or boxes of paper items. Vital Records Control will shred all the items on site, and the paper will be repurposed into tissue products.
