A&T to Host Annual Aggie Shred and Recycling Day on Nov. 9

EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Nov. 7, 2024) – North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University will host its annual Aggie Shred and Recycling Day on Saturday, Nov. 9, at Lindsay and Laurel streets on campus.

The event will conclude a weeklong series to promote cybersecurity awareness by the university’s Information Technology Services (ITS), Information Security Office and Center of Excellence in Cybersecurity Research, Education and Outreach (CREO).

Between 9 a.m. and noon, N.C. A&T employees, students and members of the surrounding community can securely dispose of unwanted documents such as old homework assignments, medical records, tax returns, bank statements and canceled checks, as well as related electronic items such as phones, computer, tablets, hard drives, thumb drives, CDs, monitors, televisions, radios, printers, cables and wires, keyboard, laptops and vacuums in an environmentally friendly way.

A&T employees will be allowed to dispose of university documents, personal documents and personal electronics, but disposal of A&T electronics is prohibited.

Anyone disposing of documents is asked to remove paper from binders and remove any binder clips and paper clips.

Disposal of the items collected at this event is being handled by Shred-it and Powerhouse Recycling for a fourth year. Waste Management Institute’s Earth & Environmental Science Club students also have volunteered to assist patrons at this event.

Upon arrival, look for the blue and gold balloons in parking lot No. 38, across from the University Police Department. The event may end early if the shred truck and electronic recycling truck reach capacity.
