Oak Creek Makes Paper 'Shred Bins' Available At Recycling Yard

OAK CREEK, WI — Locked bins for residents to deposit paper that will later be shredded are now available for use at the Oak Creek Recycling Yard, the city announced Friday.

Shred-It will collect the bins every two weeks for off-site shredding, the city said. For the security of the bins and everything dropped in them, there will be no keys stored on-site, and attendants at the recycling yard won't be able to retrieve anything dropped in them, so the city advises people to be careful.

Additionally, paper can be dropped into the bin, but no binders, binder clips, plastic or metal aside from staples should be deposited.

The Oak Creek Recycling Yard is located at 800 Puetz Road. Its listed hours are Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, 8 a.m.-3 p.m.

Between the first Tuesday of April and the last Tuesday of September, the recycling yard has extended hours on Tuesdays: 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
