Public can shred paper – and help Children’s Services holiday gift drive

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 donations.

The shredding event will be held Saturday, Nov. 13, from 9 a.m. to noon, at the Wood County Job and Family Services employee parking lot (west side), 1928 E. Gypsy Lane Road, Bowling Green. Those bringing paper are asked to enter off of Gypsy Lane Road. 

For 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 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.
