Paper Shredding Event

The Village of Downers Grove, in partnership with Accurate Document Destruction, will host a Paper-Shredding Event on Saturday, April 28, 2012 from 8:00 a.m. until Noon at Village Hall, 801 Burlington Ave. The event will be held in the employee parking lot on the east side of Village Hall (fenced-in lot off of Curtiss St.). 

This free service is being offered to Downers Grove residents in an effort to prevent identity theft. Participants must show proof of Downers Grove residency.

Each person will be allowed one brown paper bag or one banker’s box filled with personal paperwork. A bonded and insured representative of Accurate Document Destruction will use a crosscut shredder to render documents beyond reconstruction. Shredded materials will be taken to a recycling facility.
