Players for the Planet Electronic Recycling Day

Campbell County Solid Waste is proud to be a part of a region wide recycling effort called Players for the Planet. Each year, Players for the Planet holds a 3-day electronics recycling event in the Cincinnati Region. Part of the success of this program stems from the fact that each day of this 3-day event it is held at a different location. This year, on April 21, the Players for the Planet will be at the Newport Pavilion from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. This event is free to all citizens in the region; however, donations will be accepted. You can expect the staff to be giving away up to 100 pairs of Red's tickets to the first 100 participants. Please contact Campbell County Solid Waste for more information on the event.

Campbell County Shred Day

Any resident of Campbell County can come out to have their numerous documents shredded in mere seconds. The event will take place on April 20 from 9 a.m. until noon at the Disabled American Vets Headquarters (DAV) at 3752 Alexandria Pike in Cold Spring, KY. There are many reasons to shred your documents regularly; perhaps the largest reason is identity theft (one of the fastest rising crimes in America). Document destruction staff will be certified and drug tested for your safety and security. Furthermore, you can watch your documents enter the shredder with your own eyes. There is no limit to the weight you can bring – but we ask that you be mindful of others with smaller amounts that day. Please call with questions at 859-547-1802 or 859-663-8322 on the day of the event.
