A special 3-in-one event will be hosted by Olympia/Thurston County CrimeStoppers April 26.   Those stopping by can bring sensitive documents to shred, computers and other electronics to recycle and can drop off new or gently used books, CDs and DVDs for the Lacey Timberland Library.  The services are free but donations to support the mission of CrimeStoppers will be gladly accepted.  This is the third year for the event at Saint Martin’s University in Lacey.

  • Area residents can drop off documents to be shredded on site. (No businesses please)
  • Computer and electronic devices can also be dropped off for proper recycling.  (This includes computers, laptops, keyboards, mice, printers, TVs, cell phones and other small electronic devices (Household appliances will NOT be accepted.)
  • Donations of new or gently used books, CDs and DVDs will be accepted on behalf of the Friends of the Lacey Timberland Library.

Thurston County Prosecutor Jon Tunheim, a CrimeStoppers board member, says people should take advantage of this event.  “This is a simple way to make sure that documents containing personal information are shredded and properly disposed of, so the bad guys don’t have access to your vital information.  Having the electronics recycling there helps homeowners get rid of unwanted items in an environmentally responsible way and the benefit for the Lacey Timberland Library is also a bonus.” Sponsors include Saint Martin’s University, Allwest Moving and Storage, Lacey Police, Access Information Management, the Timberland Library System and SBK Recycle.
