Special Events

This county represents community at its best. Douglas County supports its own through partnerships, relationships, out outreach. It is no different when it comes to recycling.

In the past couple of weeks, we have seen electronic roundups, tennis shoe collections, can and bottle drives, and most recently free paper shredding. Local banks bring in regional paper shredders for one day collections of their old files. Many then offer to their customers an opportunity to bring in some of their own private documents for destruction. These “Paper Shredding Days” are a wonderful chance to recycle in our community. By shredding, one can be 100% confident in the end of life destination of their secure documents.

Oregon Pacific Bank and Premier West have held events in the past couple weeks. Now, Cascade Community Credit Union in Roseburg is having a Paper Shredding Day this coming Saturday, May 10th from 10 am til 2pm at their branch located at 1123 W. Harvard Ave.
