Lexington will host a Paper Shred on Saturday, May 19, 2018, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1631 Old Frankfort Pike. Fayette County residents may bring up to five boxes or bags of material to be shredded at no cost. No wet material will be accepted.
This event allows Lexington residents to safely dispose of their sensitive materials in an environmentally-friendly way. Shred-it, a division of Stericycle, securely destroys documents on-site with their fleet of mobile shredding trucks. The material collected is recycled into low-grade paper products.
“Lexington partners with Shred-it to provide residents with an opportunity to keep financial and other information secure,” said Tracey Thurman, Director of the Division of Waste Management. “Over the years, we have helped save hundreds of trees with the amount of materials shredded and recycled.”
The Better Business Bureau of Central Kentucky and Keep Lexington Beautiful Commission are also Paper Shred partners.
Participants are invited to bring non-perishable food for donation to God’s Pantry. Please do not bring items in glass packaging.
