Document Shredding

Sensitive documents and credit cards being shredded

Bring your personal documents to one of DPW’s Special Waste Collection Events for shredding. See schedule here.

  • Residents may bring up to five, medium-size boxes (approximately 20” x 14” x 14”) of personal documents to be shredded. Only paper (staples, paper and binder clips on the paper are okay) and credit cards will be accepted.
  • We encourage you to only bring personal "secure" documents for shredding, i.e., sensitive documents suchas medical records, school records, tax forms, legal orcourt document, or anything containing your social security number.
  • Not every paper with your mailing address needs to be shredded. Please recycle magazines and junk mail through your curbside recycling bin.

Note: No business or commercial material will be accepted.
