Free Document Shredding Event May 17
It’s time to clean out your filing cabinets and desks to get rid of confidential, private, or other important personal documents that you no longer need to keep.
A community shredding event will be held from 8am to noon Saturday, May 17, 2025, at the St. Andrew’s Landfill at 44837 St. Andrews Church Road.
The event gives residents the opportunity to have their confidential, private, and important documents destroyed by a professional shredding service at no cost. This type of shredding turns sensitive documents into confetti-sized pieces, ensuring that confidential material cannot be copied. All paper material shredded during the event will then be recycled.
Please refrain from bringing materials that are not confidential in nature, such as newspapers and magazines (acceptable for recycling at the convenience centers) as they will cause the truck to fill up more quickly. The shredder can handle simple staples, paper clips, spiral notebooks, and thin metal prongs, however it cannot accept three-ring binders. Limit the number of boxes you bring to three standard bankers’ boxes (10″H x 12″W x 15” D) per person so we can serve as many residents as possible.
For more information, call the St. Mary’s Department of Public Works & Transportation at 301-475-4200, ext. 3550.
