With the aid of Shred-X, which provides this service as part of their community engagement program, and Charter Hall, which administers the Bribie Central shopping centre, the local NHW filled almost 50 wheelie bins with personal correspondence, financial records, and any documents on which there was confidential information. There was also one (very heavy!) bin of x-rays. And all for recycling in a commercially viable way.

This project was one designed to promote the image of NHW across the island in addition to improving safety, as three local groups have already collapsed.

Involvement of the community in spreading knowledge about NHW, and the importance of neighbourliness in diminishing crime, are the two outcomes we were seeking from this initiative.
