Shred Day: Destroy Sensitive Documents Oct. 5

Car parked to unload documents for shredding

August 9, 2024 – The City of Wilsonville is collaborating with Shred Northwest to allow residents and small business operators to safely dispose of sensitive paper documents.  The City’s annual paper-shredding event takes place on Saturday, Oct. 5, from 9 am to 2 pm at the City Hall parking lot (29799 SW Town Center Loop E.)

While the City provides this shredding service at no charge, participants are encouraged to make an on-site donations (cash, check or Venmo) to Wilsonville Community Sharing, which operates the local food bank and provides social services for community members in need.

Shred Day participants simply drive up and unload their documents into large, wheeled bins, which are rolled to one of two Shred Northwest trucks for immediate on-site shredding. No plastics, binders, or large metal pieces may be included with paper dropped for shredding, though staples and paper clips are ok. 

Organizers are not limiting the size of individual loads, though large commercial loads should be dropped during the final hour to ensure that all participating residents are accommodated before trucks reach capacity.
