Carson City shred event Saturday raises more than $1,300 for Special Olympics of Nevada
Carson City residents got their shred on Saturday during a recycle event and barbecue to benefit Special Olympics of Nevada, raising $1,360 during the event.
Document destruction was done on-site by American Document Destruction and electronics recycling was collected by Computer Corps. Those waiting were treated to a barbecue. The event was free with organizers asking for $5 donations for each recycled electronic or box of documents shredding.
Special thanks to Carson City BBQ for donating the ribs, Raleys for donating hamburger and hot dogs, Computer Corps, American Document Destruction, Hampton Inn & Suites, Personnel Plus Inc, Bullis and Company for use of their parking lot, and Offsite Data depot for helping do the shredding.
