The McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) has teamed up with Paper Tiger Document Solutions to hold a document shredding event. This event will be held on Saturday, July 27th from 9am to 12pm (or until the Paper Tiger truck is full), at the McHenry County Administration Building, located at 667 Ware Road in Woodstock.
This event is free of charge and is available exclusively for residential documents. Commercial businesses and/or companies are not eligible to participate. Only document shredding will be offered during this event; no other types of waste will be accepted. Please do not arrive early to the event so that our vendor and volunteers can safely access and set up the event site.
Documents do not need to be brought in a banker box, but they must not exceed bank box dimensions (approx. 13”x15”x11”). There will be a limit of four banker boxes per vehicle.
Paper Tiger Document Solutions, AAA-certified by the National Association of Information Destruction, will provide secure onsite document shredding. All documents will be shredded in the shred truck before leaving the site.
For quicker, more seamless shredding, please remember the following tips:
- The shredder can only accept paper. No CDs or thumb drives.
- Staples and paper clips are acceptable.
- Binder clips, three-ring binders, and similar items need to be removed prior to shredding. Please remove them before attending the event.
- You will need to take back any bags or boxes you bring.
