Here's how it works:
• Gather up all of your old files, tax returns, bank statements and any other secure papers you may
have (newspapers and non-secure papers should be put in your recycling cart and not brought
for shredding).
• Bring the items in paper bags or boxes to the city hall parking lot (bags will be returned)
• Cones will be set up to direct you in one driveway.
• Stay in your vehicle. Volunteers will remove your paper for the shred truck.
Know what to shred:
Although opinions differ on exactly what to shred, basically know that you should shred any documents
containing signatures, account numbers, social security numbers, credit card offers, and any legal or medical
information (including tax forms, checks, pay stubs, etc.). General mail, catalogs and flyers do not need to be
shredded, and are better recycled curbside. Contact jmoore @ci.shorewood, 952.960.7906, with questions.
What you need to know:
• Event will close during lightning storms.
You will drive your vehicle into our facility for the
