The next Free Shred Event is on Saturday, October 24th at Manchester Public Works. The hours are from 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM*.
This event is for Manchester Residents Only, proof of residency is required at check-in via a driver’s license, or a Manchester Recycling permit. There is a 2 box (or 2 bags) maximum per resident.
All documents will be securely shredded on site and later recycled into new paper.
*Please plan to be on site by 12:15 PM at the latest, as the event will conclude promptly at 12:30 PM.
This event is a drive through drop off. Please stay in line in your car. Staff will be on site to direct and assist you.
Why participate? All the paper collected and shredded at this event will be recycled. If you shred your papers at home, you cannot put them in the recycling bin. These either need to go in the trash or you can use them in your backyard compost pile. Why can't shredded paper go in the recycling bin? When you shredded paper arrives at the recycling sorting facility, the tiny pieces of paper end up blowing around like confetti! This means they will not be sorted properly, and this is also a safety hazard for the facility and the workers.
