MPL is partnering with Advantage Archives to offer a community shred event during January! A community shred event is a safe and accessible way to dispose of old, unwanted documents.

Event Guidelines

• The shred event will run from Tuesday, January 2 – Wednesday, January 31. Documents can be dropped in the bin anytime during library operating hours.

• The bin will be located in the library’s media section on main level, near the north entrance. A map of where the bin is located is available, and signage will be posted directing patrons to the bin.

• To ensure capacity for all who would like to participate, individuals are limited to one, ten pound box of documents per person, per day.

• Only paper items (stapled papers inlcuded) are permitted in the bin. Plastics (binders), metals (clips and rings), and media (CDs, DVDs, etc.) are not permitted in the bin.

• Bins will be removed as they are filled. The library will not hold or store confidential documents for patrons if the bin is full.
