August 26, 2020 – To meet an emergent community need, the City is working in partnership with Shred-it to collect and shred sensitive paper documents for Wilsonville residents on Saturday, Sept. 26, 9 am to 2 pm, in the City Hall parking lot.

Throughout the summer, the City has received phone calls from residents seeking to shred sensitive documents; the COVID-19 pandemic prevented Wilsonville middle school students from teaming up with Academy Mortgage to host an annual spring shredding event.

This one-time City event is intended to bridge the gap until that popular community event returns.

Shred-It has “contactless” protocols in place to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19. Residents drive up and unload their paper documents into large recycling bins; when a bin is full, it is rolled to one of two Shred-it trucks and contents are immediately shredded.  

There is no charge for this event. The City is collecting toiletry items for Wilsonville Community Sharing, and is asking participants to consider a donation of new, packaged  toiletry items (including toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant and/or other products) for Wilsonville neighbors experiencing need.
