To the Editor:

Madison celebrated Earth Day with it’s fourth annual Community Shred.
This was made possible by volunteers, community donations,  municipal cooperation and almost no tax dollars! Cintas Document  Management shredded a truckload of personal documents, donating their  secure professional services to the community once again. We thank the  city for promotion and excellent location and event organization by  Colleen Hall. Sheriff Markely made it possible for folks to dispose of  prescription pills that they no longer needed in an environmentally  optimal way. Harvest of the Heart served the public by carrying items to  be recycled from cars to our collection and shred areas. Lynn Beckham  won the hand crafted bluebird house prize, but all of those that donated  cans for the hungry are sincerely thanked on behalf of Harvest for the  Heart. And again this year, Morgan County picked up a trailer full of  hard to recycle items after the event- making it convenient for the  public to recycle and dispose of things that should not be put in a  landfill. Keep Morgan Beautiful took the opportunity to talk to those  who were interested in composting, recycling and sustainable living.
Thanks go out to everyone who participated, and for doing your best to  Keep Morgan Beautiful this Earth Day.
