On June 1, 182 cars stopped by the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority on June 1 to take advantage of a paper shredding event that was sponsored by Rep. Kerry Benninghoff’s office.

Those 182 cars dropped off 13,126 pounds of paper that was shredded, baled and marketed to local companies to be recycled. 

It was a wonderful event that was free to the public.

Rep. Benninghoff and staff were onsite to greet residents as they utilized this great community service.

The Authority’s Recycling Coordinator, Mimi Joy Cooper was also onsite and had this to say about the event, “We are pleased to assist Representative Benninghoff and his staff to provide secure document destruction for county residents.”

The Authority will hold another paper shredding event this fall sponsored by Rep. Paul Takac’s office.  Details about that shredding event to be released soon.
