Arsenal Credit Union helps the community recycle

Arsenal Credit Union (Arnold, MO) held two community-focused recycling events this spring. The credit union partnered with the City of Arnold and Arnold Parks and Recreation not host both of the events at the Arnold Rec Center.

In April, the credit union held a paper shred event, shredding and recycling 20,625 pounds of documents. PROSHRED, a world leader in on-site shredding services, securely destroyed all documents at the event. 

In May, the credit union held an electronics recycling event, saving 11,721 pounds of e-waste from landfills. Midwest Recycling Center, a certified R2v3 and RIOS company, collected old, broken and obsolete electronics and transported them back to its facility for proper destruction and recycling. 

“As a credit union, it’s our mission to give back to the community. While we mostly focus on helping people achieve their financial goals, it’s always great to help protect and preserve the environment, too,” said Lori Crutchley, executive vice president of the credit union. “By holding these events, we also keep a lot of personal information safe, providing financial wellness for all.”
