Ranson <br />The City has received suggestions that we have document shredding available to <br />residents during the electronics - recycling day scheduled for Saturday, April 28. I have <br />spoken to one shredding company, First- Shred, and they said they can have a truck on <br />site for $200 per hour. The event is scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. That would <br />make a total cost of $800 for shredding services. 1 will try to obtain pricing from some <br />additional shredding companies prior to Wednesday's meeting and see if there are any <br />more favorable rates. <br />Assuming the price will be around $800, staff is looking for direction on whether or not <br />to provide shredding services on April 28 and how to fund the shredding services. Some <br />options are: <br />a) Charge residents that choose to have documents shredded a fee based on the <br />amount of shredding they need. <br />b) Charge a flat fee per resident regardless of the amount of paper they have. <br />c) The City could pay for the service and make it a free service for residents. <br />Retrofit Recycling will once again be providing a truck and two workers to collect <br />electronics. Retrofit received a grant for electronics recycling that greatly reduces what <br />residents are charged for each item. This year anything with a screen (televisions, <br />monitors) any size will cost $5 to recycle. All other electronics (computers, radios, <br />printers, etc.) are free. <br />
