Sister Bay and Liberty Grove residents will have a chance to drop off documents, electronics, and other household waste items, rain or shine, next Saturday. The municipalities are jointly hosting a shred/recycle/prescription pill disposal event at the Liberty Grove Town Hall on Old Stage Road. Deputy Clerk/Treasurer Doug Curzon says it provides an excellent opportunity to get rid of items at a reasonable cost. Document shredding and the recycling of most electronics are free. Copiers, printers, large screen televisions, and items containing refrigerants can all be disposed of for under $50. Curzon says the fees are commensurate with the additional costs associated with those items.

There usually are two events per year, but June’s was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. Additionally, the shred and recycling days have boomed in popularity in recent years, meaning that a heavy turnout is expected on the 12th between 9 AM and 1 PM. Curzon is asking that only residents of the two municipalities attend. If you live in other northern Door County communities, you will be turned away.

 
Door County Sheriff’s Department members will be on hand to take care of prescription drug disposal. Curzon says he hopes the weather cooperates, although the event will happen no matter what Mother Nature has in store.
