Last Shred-It Event For 2019!

Saturday, October 5, 2019
8  to 11 a.m.
Glendale Adult Center
5970 W. Brown St.

Six (6) Bankers Box Limit per Household 
Due to demand, event may conclude if trucks are full
 
Important information below is from the GLENDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT COMMUNITY ACTION TEAMS (CAT):

Please, Please, Please, if your shred boxes have been sitting for a long period of time, or not, please just look through them to be sure they have nothing dangerous that could take a shred grinder out!  THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST.  You do not have to remove paper clips or staples, CD's are OK.

In the past, we have found inside some of the dropped off boxes: purses, jewelry box, parachute, barbell, wine bottle, tarp, sets of keys and shoes. These items are not acceptable for the shred grinder!
 
We appreciate your patience in advance for the event.  There will be 4 trucks and 4 lanes for drop off....Please stay in your vehicle, unlock your door/trunk and tell us where we need to go to get the shred materials. This is for SAFETY.
 
Also, the event may possibly begin early, before 8 a.m., if the trucks are set up and the event ends at 11 a.m. sharp. Our volunteers appreciate that the appropriate box sizes are used so we have no personal injuries during the event!
 
The CAT TEAM, in partnership with CPAAG (Citizens Police Academy Alumni Group), will be accepting donations for the shred event if you chose to contribute!  Thank You!
