Seniors are urged to clean up for fall and bring their excess paper to Glen Pine Pavilion Sunday, Oct. 15 for shredding.

Home Instead Senior Care is hosting the shredding event to encourage seniors to clear out household clutter that could be causing a risk to their safety. Among the risks, experts say, is fire, falls from slipping on paper, and misplacing documents and important emergency numbers. At the event, seniors can dispose of the excess paper and cardboard for free from 10 a.m. to noon.

As well, Cyclone Shredding, Klear Out, Good Riddance Professional Organizers and Glen Pine 50+ Society will also be on hand to help seniors dispose of unnecessary papers and cardboard.

Home Instead Senior Care is a provider of non-medical home care and companionship for seniors in their homes and in care facilities.

To register, call Glen Pine Pavilion at 604-927-6945.
