Shred Sensitive Documents On Nov. 3 In Alpharetta

ALPHARETTA, GA — Alpharetta residents who need to safely dispose of financial statements, medical history papers and other sensitive documents can take advantage of a free shredding event set for Saturday, Nov. 3.

The collection, sponsored by the city and Alpharetta Natural Resources Commission, will be held from 9 a.m. to noon at the Alpharetta Department of Public Works at 1790 Hembree Road. Please note the shredding initiative can be cut off before noon if the truck fills up earlier; there is a five-box limit per household.

This shredding and recycling collection 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 materials will be recycled without risk of their confidential information falling into the wrong hands.

The Alpharetta Natural Resources Commission asks 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 dispersed to your less fortunate neighbors through the North Fulton Community Charities Food Bank.

This event is being held in conjunction with a computer and electronics recycling collection also scheduled at the same time on the same day at the same location. For more information about this event, please contact Terry Porter at (678) 297-6213 or tporter@alpharetta.ga.us.
