Shred-It Days

Environmental Services offers two free Shred-It Days for residents

Non-residents are welcome for an additional fee

O'Fallon's Environmental Services Department is offering two "Shred-It Days" in 2024 where anyone can bring in boxes of paper to be shred in a secure environment. The events will take place on Saturday, May 18, and Saturday, September 21, from 8 a.m. until noon at the Environmental Services building at 1550 Progress West Lane.

To participate, place the documents in cardboard bankers’ boxes, or cardboard boxes of a similar size, and drive up to the facility and drop them off. Please make sure the boxes are not too heavy to lift or overfilled. The service is free for trash customers for up to five bankers-sized boxes. Additional boxes will be accepted for a cost of $5 per box in the form of cash or check. Residents without trash service and non-residents may also drop off paper for shredding at a cost of $5 per box (cash or check).

Trash customers must bring photo identification showing O’Fallon residency and their account must be in good standing in order to receive the free services. All of the material will be shredded including the boxes if they are not wanted back. The event is indoors, so it will be rain or shine.

Please do not bring computer discs or hanging file rods. If you can tear it, then you can shred it with this complimentary service. It is okay for documents to have staples or paper clips.
