FREE Document Shredding - NEW LOCATION

Mission Viejo residents and businesses can destroy their sensitive documents during the free drive-through Document Shredding event on Saturday, March 22.

Hosted by Waste Management and the City's Public Works Department, the event is from 9 to 11 am (or until truck capacity is reached) in the Norman P. Murray Community & Senior Center parking lot at 24932 Veterans Way. Please note the new location.

Identity theft is one of the fastest-growing crimes in the nation, and shredding documents with personal or financial information can be an effective measure of prevention.

Residents and businesses can bring up to 5 banker-size file boxes (24" x 12" x 10") worth of paper records for immediate shredding onsite. Documents can be brought in any type of container or bag. All containers and bags will be returned to the resident's vehicle once emptied. For easy disposal by our staff, please load all materials in the trunk of your car. Please ensure all documents are free of binders, paper clips, plastic sleeves and metal butterfly clips. Items not accepted include CDs, credit cards, three-ring binders, wire dividers, newspapers, magazines and spiral notebooks.

Proof of residency is required. For safety reasons, please remain in your vehicle until you are serviced. No walk-ups will be permitted.
