GULF SHORES, ALA. - The Coastal Alabama Business Chamber recently announced the return of the area’s Annual E-Cycling & Shred Day, scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023, from 8 AM to 12 PM, at the Gulf State Park Beach Pavilion on East Beach Boulevard in Gulf Shores.
The annual tradition is put together in partnership with the Chamber, the cities of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, the Gulf State Park, and sponsors Beebe’s Pest & Termite Control, and Baldwin County Sewer Service.
Shred Day is a free event and attendees don’t have to worry about doing any heavy lifting, volunteers will be on hand to quickly remove items from attendees’ vehicles. Amongst the volunteers will be the Chamber’s Junior Leadership students, who will be collecting tips for their program (tipping is optional, but appreciated).
"We’ve done this event for over a decade now and have really become efficient at it," said Steve Jones, Chamber VP of Events and Community Relations, "We run rain or shine and folks don’t even have to exit their vehicles, it’s just a great way to help keep the community clean and clutter free.”
Attendees can bring any of their personal paper documents (such as bank statements, canceled
checks, credit card statements, utility bills, etc.) to be shredded. Each vehicle is limited to bringing 50 pounds of shred items. Attendees are asked to please not tape or tie bags or boxes. Attendees may also bring any electronic items (such as televisions, computers, vacuums, printers, power tools, etc) to be disposed of, with the exception of any types of batteries.
All collected items will be safely and securely disposed of by participating companies Gilmore Services and Coastal E-Cycle. The 2022 event saw 8,000 lbs of shred items and 6,500 lbs of electronics collected.
