Document destruction event Saturday in Palatine

The village of Palatine, the Palatine Park District and Palatine High School are partnering with the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County on Saturday, July 20, to host a document destruction event.

This event will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at the high school, 1111 N. Rohlwing Road. All vehicles must enter the campus at the North Rohlwing Road and East Cunningham Drive entrance and follow the posted signs.

Residents from Palatine and other SWANCC communities are eligible to participate. IDs will be checked for verification of residency. Materials will not be accepted from non-SWANCC residents, businesses, schools or institutions.

Participants must be in a vehicle and remain in their vehicle. No walk ups are allowed. All materials should be placed in the back of the vehicle. Residents will unlock/open the trunk from inside the vehicle to allow staff to unload the items.

There is a limit of six file boxes (boxes will be returned) or paper bags per vehicle. Bring only sensitive documents containing personal information such as medical history forms, bank statements, personal files, and retired tax forms. Plastic and metal clips or binders must be removed.
