UPDATE:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Allshred Services is no longer able to provide on-site shredding services during Dublin’s Document Destruction Day event Saturday, Oct. 23. Document drop off for off-site shredding services will still be available. Your confidential materials will be securely transported in a locked, GPS-tracked truck by a uniformed security driver to the contractor’s state-of-the-art, secure facility. At the site, materials are fed directly into a double-shred system, which processes paper through two independent shredders to create a crosscut effect. You can have peace of mind that your sensitive documents will be handled and destroyed in a way that exceeds National Association of Information Destruction (NAID) requirements for security.
(Also, if you have any expired or unwanted medications to dispose of, check out the Dublin Police’s Drug Take Back event happening the same day, Oct. 23 at the Justice Center (6565 Commerce Pkwy.) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Click here for more information.)
The City of Dublin’s Document Destruction Day is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021.
Thank you to all who participated in the April 10 event at the City of Dublin Fleet Maintenance complex. Nearly 600 vehicles traveled through the drive-thru service and an estimated 30,000 pounds of paper was shredded and recycled.
Acceptable items for destruction:
- Paper documents
- Paper receipts
- Paper mail
- File folders
- Hard drives
Other things to note:
- Use Cosgray Road or Avery Road to access Shier Rings Road, as there are road closures on Eiterman Road north and south of Shier Rings Road.
- Staple and binder clips are okay, but remove everything from 3 ring binders, padfolios, and plastic or vinyl folders.
- Photographs cannot be accepted because they contain chemicals that interfere with the paper fibers during the shredding and recycling process.
- For those who have electronics, such as laptops, to dispose of, please check out our weekly e-waste recycling program.
Protocols have been developed in partnership with Franklin County Public Health to ensure the safety of all participants and workers.
Here are some guidelines for attending City shredding events:
- Residents may bring up to five standard-sized file boxes or containers per vehicle.
- Boxes or containers should be placed in the trunk (preferred) or back of the vehicle for easy access and limited contact.
- Boxes should not be sealed or taped.
- File boxes are preferred, but garbage bags will be accepted.
- Staff will remove the containers.
- Residents should remain in their vehicles at all times,
- There will be one lane. Material will be securely transferred to an off-site shredding facility. Please see more information at the update above.
There is no fee for this service.
