Joplin Recycling Center, JPD to hold community shredding event

(From the City of Joplin)

Many people may have personal papers no longer needed and cluttering their house, but fear of identity theft prevents people from trashing or recycling these sensitive documents. The Joplin Recycling Center and the Police Department have partnered on an event that can help.

On Saturday, April 22---in celebration of Earth Day---the Center will host a community shredding event, in which large amounts of paper can be shredded quickly at no cost to Joplin residents. This opportunity is only available between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when the document shredding company, Midwest Fibre Sales, will have their mobile shred truck at the Center. Large amounts of paper can be shredded quickly at no cost and witnessed via an interior camera. Volunteers will be available to help unload boxes.

So whether you have old banking papers no longer needed, or other personal papers, bring them to the Recycling Center, located at 1310 West A Street, for a FREE way to dispose of these in a safe and efficient manner.

Midwest Fibre Sales’ shredding division is a secure service provider operating out of a limited public access facility in Springfield, Missouri. The company is fully compliant with industry standards and regulations, and all shredded paper will be recycled.
