Shred Sensitive Documents Sunday In Lower Merion Township

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA – Do you have documents laying around the house with your sensitive information on them? If so, you have a chance to safely and securely get rid of those documents to ensure your data doesn't fall into the wrong hands at a free document shredding event.

The Montgomery County Commissioners are sponsoring a free community paper shredding event in Lower Merion Township this weekend.

From 9 a.m. to noon on Sunday, Oct. 29 at the Lower Merion Transfer Station, 1300 N. Woodbine Ave., Penn Valley, Montgomery County residents only can use the free shredding service.

Businesses are not permitted to use the service.

Those looking to take advantage of the event should arrive early, as there is a limited capacity for the shred trucks. Once they are full, the event will end.

Some things to keep in mind as you plan to use the shredding services are:

• Make sure that there is no plastic, plastic bags, batteries, cardboard, or metal, other than staples and paper clips in the waste;
• bring documents in boxes or paper bags for ease of shredding on site;
• and keep to the two box or two paper bag per vehicle limit in consideration of other attendees;

Volunteers will assist with removing documents from vehicles.
