Shred Event Scheduled for October 24

We have scheduled a document shredding event for Saturday, October 24, 2026 from 8:30 am til 11:30 am . Enter through the highway department at 22376 Erhart Road. If the truck fills earlier than 11:30, the event will end.

You may bring the equivalent of 3 boxes to shred. Staples and paper clips are fine. The most efficient way is to place your items in a paper grocery bag. No plastic bags. To keep the line moving, you will not be able to exit your car and watch the shredding.

This shredding event is for documents only. Please recycle your coupons, magazines and junk mail with your weekly recycling. They will not be accepted.

Pop your trunk and we will take the items. Do not leave your car.

We will not accept any binders or hanging file folders or electronic items including greeting cards with lithium batteries because they can catch on fire in the truck. If the truck fills up before 11:30, the event will be over.

We look forward to seeing you and appreciate your patience.
