Kifowit Invites Area Families to Spring Cleaning Recycling Event

AURORA, Ill. – In an effort to assist area families with spring cleaning, state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit, D-Oswego, will be hosting a spring cleaning recycling event on Saturday, May 3 from 9 a.m. to noon.  The event will be held at her constituent service office, located at 1677 Montgomery Rd., Suite 166 in Aurora, where there will be free electronic recycling and secure paper shredding services.

“I am happy to offer this recycling event to help area residents with their spring cleaning and safe disposal of unused electronics,” Kifowit said. “With tax season behind us, it is the perfect time to dispose of old documents in a safe manner.”

Kifowit’s Spring Cleaning Event will offer local families the opportunity to recycle old electronics and shred paperwork for free. Residents are welcome to bring documents that contain personally identifiable information to be safely shredded, such as bank statements, outdated medical records, old tax returns, and other sensitive documents.

Kifowit will be joined by Fox Metro, Mutual Ground, and the Association for Individual Development.  Fox Metro will accept unused, unwanted, or expired medications so they can be properly disposed. Mutual Ground will be collecting cell phones and, if possible, the cell phone chargers as well.  The Association for Individual Development will be accepting computer equipment, cell phones, stereos, and other electronic appliances for free recycling; TVs and computer monitors will not be accepted. 

“Shredding documents with sensitive information will help ensure personal data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.  There’s no better way to get rid of your confidential paperwork than stopping by this free event,” Kifowit said.  “I encourage everyone to take this opportunity to clear up valuable space in their home.”
