Avondale City is offering a safe way to get rid of those stacks of old, sensitive documents cluttering their homes, the Avondale City Hall will host a Free Community Shred Event, where citizens can shred their unwanted papers for free. Slated for Thursday, April 11, the event, running from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., is open to anyone with documents like outdated medical records, tax forms, and bank statements; the kind that is gold for identity thieves but clutter for your house.
According to a release from the City of Avondale, it's a drive-thru and drop-off extravaganza that makes tossing out those piles of paper as easy as pie, it's a chance to declutter without the fear of personal info falling into the wrong hands and it's happening right in front of Avondale City Hall, located at 11465 West Civic Center Drive, but remember, there's a cap at five boxes per person.
The city is joining forces with Access Corp to make this event possible, ensuring professional and secure document destruction. This service, typically paid for, is a godsend for those worried about the correct disposal of papers that carry the weight of their identities but may not have the means to do it themselves. As documents are shredded on-site, residents can watch their confidential materials get turned into confetti, giving them peace of mind in the process.
Those interested in taking advantage of this free service should mark their calendars, prepare their documents, and head over to the City Hall parking lot on the announced date and time; for more details on the event, Avondale encourages citizens to call (623) 333-1000 or to visit their website, which has all the information you might need to make the shred day as smooth as possible.
