Shred Event

Secure document disposal at no cost!

Secure document disposal at no cost!

The Department of Energy and Environmental Services invites Long Beach residents to participate in upcoming shred events offering no-cost, secure disposal of sensitive documents. Shredded paper is not recyclable in curbside recycling carts. Take advantage of this opportunity to securely shred documents and ensure the paper is recycled right.

During each event, two mobile shredding trucks will be on-site until 10 a.m. or until the trucks reach capacity.
