It's called a Shred-A-Thon and on a recent Saturday at the Wal-Mart off Highway 107 in Sherwood, a whole lot of shredding was going on.
Keep Sherwood Beautiful started the event 2009 and holds it twice a year during the fall and April as part of the spring time Great American Clean-up in Arkansas.
Cintas Document Management provides the labor and one of its big mobile unit shredding trucks as a no-cost community service for the event.
Keep Sherwood Beautiful never saw
a break in the action as tons of waste was brought to the shedding event. Cintas takes the pulverized paper and recycles it.
In 2011, Cintas' recycling efforts saved 8 million trees, 10 million BTUs of energy and eliminated 1.8 billion pounds of CO2 emissions by recycling shredding materials, according to the company.
