In observance of Earth Day, Geisinger will host free community shred events throughout the month of April, including one right here in our backyard.

Employees and members of the public are invited to bring any personal or professional confidential documents — such as bank statements, credit card bills and tax forms — to be securely shredded on-site and recycled.

Each person is limited to three boxes. Do not use bins for non-paper waste or garbage.

For more information, call 570-271-6030.

• Thursday, April 18 – Geisinger Lewistown Hospital, 400 Highland Ave., Lewistown, 7 – 11 a.m.
