FOR FEARRINGTON AND GALLOWAY RIDGE RESIDENTS ONLY.
FHA In Partnership with The GREEN SCENE
Saturday, October 15, 2022 Only Between 9:00am and Noon
2 Events — 1 Day: Gathering Place Parking Lot.
MASKS OPTIONAL DURING THE EVENT
This Event is Sponsored by the FHA and by
Fearrington Resident & FHA Vice President Amy Ghiloni.
Saturday, October 15, 2022 we will be hosting our semi-annual "2-in-1" paper shredding and pharmaceutical disposal event from 9:00 AM until Noon in The Gathering Place parking lot. As most of you are aware, this event has for many years been known as the "3-in-1" event - with the third element being a home fire extinguisher company offering inspection and recharging services. With the evolution in the market place toward the increased availability of very affordable "single use" extinguishers, we have decided that paying a vendor to come and provide a service of dwindling interest is an activity that we will step away from at this time.
As, in the past, this event is co-sponsored by the Fearrington Homeowners Association providing financial support, and the Fearrington Green Scene providing the dedicated volunteers who do the physical work. We are also grateful for the financial support of Fearrington resident Amy Ghiloni of ReMax United Real Estate of Chapel Hill.

1. FREE SHREDDING
Have your confidential documents destroyed on-site, free of charge. Watch as Shimar Recycling Inc. shreds your documents.
Guidelines:
- Bound paper stacks one inch thick or more need to be separated
- Remove rubber bands and heavy banker's paper clips from papers
- Paper should not be in binders or heavy plastic.
2. PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE DISPOSAL
The Chatham County Sheriff’s Department will be available to safely dispose of all your old, unused, or expired prescription medications safely and legally.
All you need to do is leave them in the original packaging and hand them to the sheriff deputy on duty at the Gathering Place. No liquid medication or "sharps" (needles) are accepted. Remember: NEVER FLUSH medicines as they cause environmental issues.
AN ALTERNATIVE TO THROWING AWAY YOUR CURRENT UNUSED, UNWANTED PRESCRIPTION MEDICINES: consider donating them to Chatham Cares Community Pharmacy [CCCP] in Siler City, a non-profit community-based organization operated by a licensed pharmacist and committed to reducing health disparities by providing access to quality pharmacy services to the low-income, uninsured, and underinsured residents of Chatham County.
