Two quick reminders about free services the next two Saturdays that can help with your spring cleaning:

FREE SHREDDING TOMORROW: Saturday (April 19) brings the annual shredding event in the northwest Westwood Village parking lot, offered by John L. Scott Westwood Real Estate-The Madrona Group (WSB sponsor), 9 am-noon. Shredding is free, but if you can, bring food/money to donate to the White Center Food Bank.

RECYCLE ROUNDUP ON APRIL 26: Then one week from tomorrow, 9 am-3 pm Saturday, April 26, it’s the spring edition of Fauntleroy Church‘s Recycle Roundup – free dropoff recycling for electronics and much more. Here’s the newest list of what will and won’t be accepted. Drive/ride/walk up to the church lot at 9140 California SW (but don’t wait until the last hour unless you absolutely can’t make it any sooner – they want to avoid a big crowd at closing time).

In the future I would love to know in the write-up if the shredding of personal documents happens on-site where you can verify or if they haul it away to be shredded at a different location. For documents that have sensitive info like account numbers, SS#’s, etc. on them I would prefer to actually watch them get shredded.

Sorry, comment time is over.
