ProShred’s environmentally conscious shredding and recycling service saved 12 trees.

The Newport Beach event, held at Surterre’s headquarters a week later collected approximately 4,500 pounds of electronic waste and shredded approximately 5,425 pounds of documents on-site, which saved 46 trees.

“We had about 92 people come through the South Shores Church parking lot, with some of them stopping by twice,” said Betty Comegys, a Surterre agent and leader of the Monarch Beach event. “Someone showed up with 30 boxes

of papers to shred, and although they typically only take three bags or boxes of documents, ProShred shredded all 30 boxes for her on the spot.”

A free event held on a quarterly basis in different areas of Orange County, Surterre’s eWaste and document-shredding drives offer individuals an easy opportunity to safely dispose of their unwanted electronics and papers.
