Rockdale County to host Paper Shredding Day Sept. 14

ROCKDALE COUNTY, GA– Rockdale County is holding its ever-popular Paper Shredding event for Rockdale residents and business owners on Saturday, Sept. 14, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., in the parking lot of 1400 Parker Road, Conyers.

The free, half-day event will provide the public with a place to safely discard and recycle old documents.

There is a maximum of 4 banker boxes per vehicle allowed for paper shredding. Participants must provide a photo ID as proof of an address in the county.  

A Cut Above Shredding, a professional paper shredding company, will have paper

shredding trucks on site and will securely handle all items under the close supervision of government staff.

This event operates on a first-come, first-served basis. There will be two shredding trucks on site for the event. However, once the shredding trucks are full, shredding services for the day will end.

Papers that are loose, folded or in envelopes are accepted. Please remember to remove all foreign objects from papers to be shredded, including spring loader/binder clips or glue and adhesives. Additional items that are not accepted include photographs, hanging metal file folders and three-ring binders.

The event is weather-dependent. Should the forecast predict rain, this will render the equipment inoperable, and the event will be scheduled
