Shredding Event On Saturday

Invite To McHenry County Residents

Bring documents that need to be destroyed to a free Shred Day being held at McHenry County College by the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County.

When:  Saturday, November 5
Time:    10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
                             Where:  McHenry County College Parking Lot D
        Located near the MCC greenhouse

The two-goal of the sponsors is to provide McHenry County citizens an opportunity to destroy documents in a safe and secure manner while also helping the environment by recycling the shredded paper.

Volunteers will be on hand to help transfer boxes from vehicles to the truck.  All documents will be transported in locked totes in a secured truck that is monitored by a GPS tracking system from McHenry County College to AMS Store and Shred’s secured facility with 24/7 surveillance cameras that carry a 90 day retention.  Once the documents arrive at the facility they will be destroyed and recycled.  All participants will receive a Certificate of Destruction on the Shred Day. Please note that this event will NOT be able to accommodate shredding for businesses.
