Document Destruction/Paper Shredding Event at the Skokie Farmers' Market!

It’s a full day at the Skokie Farmers’ Market on Sunday, September 20, 2015! Meet the Consumer Affairs Commission as they host a document destruction/paper shredding event at the Skokie Market.

The shredding event will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Village parking lot on Floral Avenue and Oakton Street across the street from the Farmers’ Market.

This drive-through paper shredding event is in cooperation with the Skokie Chamber of Commerce. Proper destruction of documents such as residentially-generated paper, medical forms, bank statements, personal files, retired tax forms, etc. prevents identity theft. No materials from businesses, schools or institutions will be accepted. Stapled materials are accepted, but please remove binder clips. Documents will be shredded on-site at the time of drop-off.

Additionally, meet members of the Skokie Sustainable Environmental Advisory Commission who will promote recycling efforts within the Village & hear music by guitarist Gene Lim & Rachel Katzman.

The Skokie Farmers’ Market is open every Sunday through October 25, 2015 from 7:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
