Shredding Event Moved to Fremont Elementary School, May 15

Please mark your calendar for May 15 from 9 am til noon.

Due to the popularity of our shredding event last year, we are moving the location to the Fremont Intermediate School Parking Lot at 28754 N Fremont Center Rd, Mundelein, IL 60060. The traffic was literally backed up to Target last year and we needed to move the event. We also are providing an additional truck.

If the trucks hit capacity before noon, the event is over.

You may bring 3 boxes to shred. Staples and paper clips are fine. The most efficient way is to place your items in a paper grocery bag. Because we are not at our facility, we will not be able to take cardboard boxes. No plastic bags. Due to Covid and 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.

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 because they catch on fire in the truck.

We look forward to seeing you and appreciate your patience.
