On Saturday, June 10, State Senator Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport) and Durand Mayor Sheila Hoffman are partnering for a free document shredding event at Durand High School’s west parking lot. A shred truck will be on-site at the school, located at 200 West South Street in Durand, from 9:00 AM until 12:00 noon, and documents will be accepted during that time, or until the truck is full.
“The shred truck provides residents with a safe and secure way to dispose of sensitive documents like old bank statements, tax documents, and receipts,” said Chesney. “It’s a good opportunity to clean out file cabinets and ensure personal information is protected.”
Participants are asked to follow traffic signs and remain in their vehicles. Shred truck staff and other volunteers will unload cars. Parking will be available for those who wish to see their documents fed into the shredder.
While paper folders, staples, and paper clips can be fed into the shredder, large binder clips, plastic file folders, and old floppy discs cannot. Additionally, no electronics will be accepted for recycling or disposal.
