Free drive-through document shredding event set for Oct. 1

Mission Viejo residents and businesses can destroy their sensitive documents during the free drive-through Document Shredding event on Saturday, October 1.

Hosted by Waste Management and the City's Public Works Department, the event is from 9 to 11 am (or until truck capacity is reached) in the Mission Viejo City Hall parking lot at 200 Civic Center.

Residents and businesses can bring up to five banker-size file boxes worth of paper records for immediate shredding. Proof of residency is required. All documents and boxes should be free of binders, paper clips, plastic sleeves and metal butterfly clips.

Items not accepted include CDs, credit cards, three-ring binders, wire dividers, newspapers, magazines and spiral notebooks. For safety reasons, all patrons must remain in their vehicles until serviced. No walk-ups will be permitted.
