Anoka County residents and small business owners, it's time to clear out your offices and closets safely. A free paper shredding event is scheduled for Saturday, February 1, where you can get rid of your important documents securely, as reported by the City of Coon Rapids. The event will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., or until the truck is full, at the Coon Rapids Recycling Center located at 1827 111th Ave. NW.
The provided service includes paper shredding for all Anoka County residents and small businesses, with a limit of five boxes. Organizers are assuring that the shredding will take place on site in a mobile truck employing a cross cut shredder, which ensures that your documents are shredded into confetti-sized pieces. By the time you leave, leaving behind your cardboard boxes at the Recycling Center is something you're welcome to do.
According to the City of Coon Rapids announcement, attendees won't need to worry about removing any paper clips, staples, or rubber bands from their papers. Additionally, it's unnecessary to separate papers from envelopes or to remove windows from envelopes. Even checks can remain within their books, and files can stay in folders, simplifying the process. However, attendees should note that items such as three-ring binders, credit cards, or CDs will not be accepted.
