Belinda Lewis, Director of the Upshur County Solid Waste Authority, announced the event noting that it is for residential shredding only and that each resident is allowed to bring either two banker boxes, or two 13-gallon bags of material to be shredded. For peace of mind, you can watch it get shredded!
