The line of traffic will move towards the on-site shredding trucks there are four trucks scheduled for each 2022 event, with each truck holding up to 12,000 pounds of paper. Please stay in your vehicle except to use the Pit Stop (northeast corner of the front parking lot).

Envelope windows are okay, though we encourage you to remove envelopes, as they are not confidential material.

PLEASE REMOVE all plastic, including page protectors, dividers, file label holders, plastic folders or binders. Staples, paperclips, spiral bindings, manila folders, and file folders without metal are okay to leave. PLEASE REMOVE all binder clips, ring clips, three-ring binders, hanging file folders with metal hangers, and any other larger metal pieces. These can go airborne when they hit the shredder blades, causing a hazard to event attendees. However, you can bring your papers to the events any type of box or paper bag. Quantity limit is the equivalent of 4 banker boxes (12"width x 16"depth x 10"height) worth of material per vehicle.

This means no CDs or floppy discs, hard drives, credit cards (cut up with scissors and place in trash), shoes, Christmas decorations, plastic sleeves on files, plastic binders, or garbage. If it is not paper, we can't take it for shredding. Most of these can go in curbside recycling, except cash register receipts and photographs, which should go in the trash, and books which can go to a Kane County Recycling Center or thrift store.
