The event will take place in the lower Applied Physics Lab parking lot beside our Main Office Branch.

Members and non-members are invited to shred financial statements, receipts, invoices and other personal documents.

Please limit shredding materials to two boxes each weighing less than 100 pounds. Paperclips and staples are permitted, but three-ring binders and black binder clips cannot go through the shredder. No media/electronic shredding available at this event.

Please consider bringing a nonperishable food item to this event to support our efforts for the Elizabeth House in Laurel.
