Free Paper Shredding Event coming to Joyner Park July 15

The Town of Wake Forest will host a free Paper Shredding Event on Monday, July 15, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in the accessible parking lot of E. Carroll Joyner Park, 701 Harris Road. Sponsored by Skylift Garage Doors, the event will offer community members the opportunity to protect themselves from identity theft and dispose of confidential documents in an environmentally responsible manner.

A drive-thru system utilizing the main entrance and exit to Joyner Park will be implemented to help ensure a smooth drop-off experience. Anyone wishing to visit the park during the event should utilize the Joyner Park Community Center entrance located west of the main entrance.

There is a limit of four “banker-box” sized boxes or four large bags of paper per household or business and a limit of one trip per household.

All paper will be shredded on-site, then recycled. Participants are urged to help reduce contamination by removing all non-paper materials in advance, such as plastic binders, plastic folders, and metal tabs.

Wake Forest has scheduled a final Paper Shredding Event this year on Monday, Nov. 18, at Flaherty Park, 1100 N. White St. For more information, visit http://bit.ly/WFPaperShreddingEvent or contact Sustainability Coordinator Jeanette Johnson at 919-435-9585 or [email protected].
