Mayor announces Shred Day at City Hall for residents

A special opportunity to securely shred/dispose of old or unwanted documents for free will be hosted in City Hall’s parking lot

Mayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce that the City of Everett will be hosting Shred Day for residents to securely shred and dispose of any old or unwanted documents free of charge. The Shred Day will take place on Saturday, Oct. 5 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Everett City Hall parking lot (484 Broadway). The City will once again provide the opportunity for residents to properly shred old or unwanted documents that might contain sensitive details pertaining to their personal information.

In an effort to increase accessibility for all residents to participate in this annual initiative, the City has moved the location of the event from Rivergreen Park to the City Hall parking lot. “We want to ensure all residents have access to participate in this chance to remove documents they may no longer need while also ensuring their private information is securely shredded,” said Mayor DeMaria. “That’s why we decided to move the event to City Hall this year because it is a more central location that is accessible by public transportation. I encourage all residents to take advantage of this free event.”

Please be prepared to show proof of residency when you arrive because this event is for Everett residents only. Residents can bring many types of old or unwanted documents that are commonly found in homes, such as financial documents, medical records, newspapers, legal documents, receipts and invoices, tax records, W-2 and W-4 forms, utility bills, bank statements, contracts, canceled checks, credit card statements, pay stubs and any other documents containing personal information.
