Workers will remove the paper documents while residents stay in their vehicles. Paper is cross-shredded on site and will be recycled to make new paper products. Only sensitive documents are accepted - that can include medical forms, bank statements, personal files and retired tax forms. There is a limit of six (6) file boxes or paper bags per vehicle. Plastic and metal clips or binders must be removed. Photos, slides and any non-paper items must be removed.
