Orion Township business Premier Self Storage has teamed up with Great Lakes Electronics, Shred Corp., The Salvation Army, and The American Red Cross to host its 3rd Annual Green Meet, an annual recycling drive to collect electronic waste (eWaste), paper documents and provide a donation venue for unwanted furniture or other items and a Blood Drive all free. The event is Thursday (May 19) between noon and 6 pm, at 100 Premier Drive.

The company or organization that donates the most supplies will win a free Bocci Ball and dinner party at Palazzo di Bocce.
