Ballantyne, NC – Ballantyne Corporate Park held its first Earth Day event on Thursday, April 22 at its Brixham Green Tent and partnered with Clean Air Works! to host a gas cap check on Friday, April 23.

At the Earth Day celebration, Cintas shredded 1,171 pounds of paper and eCycle Secure recycled more than 3,300 pounds (1.7 tons) of computers and electronics.
