Paper documents are a common source of identity theft. Protect yourself by shredding sensitive documents at our free shredding events. We'll also accept old TVs, CPUs, monitors, laptops and cellphones for safe disposal. A small recycle fee may apply to some electronic items such as printers and VCRs.

While you're at it, consider helping neighbors in need by donating cash or nonperishable food to our local food banks. We'll have a representative on site to collect your donations.
