They will be shredded on-site. They should not bring already-shredded paper, binders, plastic folders, computer disks or plastic credit cards. Up to four bags or boxes per household will be accepted.
In addition to shredding documents, county residents may also drop off TVs, computer equipment, non-working microwaves, stereos, vacuum cleaners, and, yes, even toasters, blenders and similar small household appliances. This is in addition to the laptops, monitors, computer keyboards, mice/cables, printers, desktop copiers, scanners, fax machines, VCR/DVD/MP3 players, cell phones, game consoles and rechargeable batteries the program already accepts.
