Free Document Shredding Comes To Alpharetta

ALPHARETTA, GA -- Alpharetta residents are invited to clear out unwanted documents from their home offices during a free shredding event on Saturday, April 8.

This event, a safe way to properly dispose of bank statements, medical history papers, and other documents containing confidential information, will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety's parking lot.

The drive will go on until noon or earlier, if the truck fills up before that deadline. There is a five-box limit per resident.

1st Secure Shredding, the city’s partner on this event, will offer residents and small businesses the opportunity to safely discard confidential documents using a mobile, on-site shredding truck.

Residents can watch their documents being shredded and have comfort knowing that the shredded materials will be recycled, without risk of their confidential information falling into the wrong hands.

Should you need to shred more than five boxes, contact Sandy Lehman with 1st Secure Shredding to make other arrangements at (678) 773-9306.

The Alpharetta Natural Resources Commission is requesting that participants enhance this act of giving back by bringing one can of food per box brought for shredding. All collected food items will be distributed to neighbors through the North Fulton Community Charities Food Bank.

The Department of Public Safety is located at 2565 Old Milton Parkway.

For more information about this event, contact Terry Porter at (678) 297-6213 or tporter@alpharetta.ga.us.
