Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I know of two individuals in the Naperville area. One is Laurie's own daughter and her company Worker Girl. The other is Shredigator. I don't have their number handy but can have them contact you. Lori shredding service needed Does anyone out there have a shredding service (preferably one that is owned/operated or benefits those with disabilities)? I am cleaning out 30 (yes I said 30) years of files that I want to shred. While my own adult-disabled daughter would love to do this in her free time...I think I have enough to keep her busy for 2 years straight! Hence, the thought of hiring one of you who may have that business already for your young adult is more appealing to me. P. - Geneva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Actually, I meant to mention that I am planning on setting up a shredding/recycling business with Noah in the Spring/Summer, so, if there is more to be done, feel free to save us some boxes. We will most likely be doing shredding on-site with a portable shredder...will keep everyone posted when we are up and running... Start saving stuff for us! Ellen Ellen Garber Bronfeld egskb@...

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hi Amy, That's great that your district is willing to start a business for your students. Do they get paid? How does that work? At a recent Naperville works meeting we were talking to our district about the setting up a business in order to be able to bid on city contract for things like shredding copying and collating and they said they can't do that. So we started discussing microenterprise with a few parents. Seems like we should be able to put our " shreds " together so that opportunities in our own communities don't pass by.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi, Our Transition program has a few microbusinesses which includes shredding. Our Vocational Coordiantor was vital in setting it up and worked with others who have done this previously. Our District allowed us to set-up activity accounts, similar to a school club. We do not pay students directly but we use the money to pay for large portions of our annual overnight trip and other expense the student might of had to pay for previously. For example our Holiday lunch. The businesses are used for teaching vocational skills at a variety of independence levels. We also have become part of two our local Chambers. This has generated business as well as job training opportunities in the community. Thanks, Amy ________________________________ From: Francis PALLUAU <fpalluau@...> IPADDUnite Sent: Fri, December 30, 2011 11:55:48 AM Subject: Re: shredding service needed  Hi Amy, That's great that your district is willing to start a business for your students.
