This Friday from 10A-1P at Wesselman Park Solid Waste Management is holding their free paper shredding event. This is a good way to safely get rid of any papers or documents you may have lying around that are no longer needed, but contain sensitive information such as social security numbers, addresses or names.

Free Paper Shredding Day Friday, October 18, 2019 from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

According to SmartAsset.com documents you should shred include:

Medical or banking information that's over a year old
