FREE Document Shredding

Mission Viejo residents and businesses can destroy their sensitive documents during the free drive-through Document Shredding event on Saturday, March 25.

Hosted by Waste Management and the City Public Works Department, the event is from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. (or until truck capacity is reached) in the Mission Viejo City Hall parking lot at 200 Civic Center.

Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the nation, and shredding documents with personal or financial information can be an effective measure of prevention.

Residents and businesses can bring up to 5 banker-size file boxes (24” x 12" x 10”) worth of paper records for immediate shredding. Proof of residency is required. Please ensure all documents and boxes are 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, please remain in your vehicle until you are serviced. No walk-ups will be permitted.
