Ninth annual Drive, Drop & Donate shred & electronic recycle event to benefit DuPage County students in need

Recycle electronics and shred documents during DuPage Credit Union’s Ninth Annual Drive, Drop & Donate event to benefit DuPage County students in need Friday, June 17 at its Naperville Operations Center, 1515 Bond Street.

Electronic Recycling and Document Shredding provided by Citadel:

 

  • Electronic Recycling – 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Sensitive Document Shredding – 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The donation to shred or recycle is $10 per service, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting the Credit Union’s We’ve Got Your Back fundraiser to help local students in need. Both cash and credit will be accepted; please place cash in an envelope.

For your safety and the safety of the credit union team, those dropping off items are asked to please remain in their vehicles and have recyclables in their trunks.

“The past few years have been especially hard on local families’ pocketbooks,” said Amy Brandt, Senior Vice President of Digital, Payment and Learning Transformation. “Our goal is to help alleviate some of the financial stress associated with back to school shopping and making sure local students in need have the supplies they need to succeed in the classroom.”

Last year, the credit union raised $7,100 during its Drive, Drop & Donate event.

One hundred percent of the funds raised will be used to purchase supply kits and backpacks.  The supplies will be given out to students before the start of the 2022-2023 school year at the annual Back to School Fair held at the DuPage County Fairgrounds on August 10.

“Drive, Drop & Donate will take place, come rain or shine,” Brandt added, “hope to see you there.”
