Shred-a-thon

Posted on September 24, 2009 by Staff

To help prevent identity theft and save space in the landfill, the Chapel Hill Police Department and Orange County’s Solid Waste Department are teaming up to sponsor two free shred-a-thons for confidential papers.

Orange County residents are encouraged to bring confidential papers free of plastic, computer disks and other non-paper items for shredding from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 7 at University Mall or from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 14 at the recycling site behind Home Depot in Hillsborough.

The events have gained in popularity. More 400 people attended three shred-a-thons last April and May resulting in the recycling of 15 tons of shredded paper.
