To help ensure people don’t become victims of fraud after they toss confidential documents in the trash, Cambie Community centre is hosting a shredding and recycling event Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
People are encouraged to bring their papers and old electronics to the community centre for its first spring shredding and electronic recycling event.
The electronic recycling association, a Richmond non-profit which has strived to reduce unnecessary electronic waste since 2004, will also be on site to recycle old cell-phones, tablets or laptops.
Reservations are not needed, but people are encouraged to bring a minimum cash donation of $10 to help support the association.
Participants must adhere to the health and safety guidelines, such as maintaining social distancing at the event.
