Leesburg Offers Free Document Shredding on Saturday, June
16, 2018
Leesburg, VA (June 5, 2018) – Do you worry about identity theft? Have boxes of documents
with sensitive information you don’t want to put in the trash or recycling bin? The Town of
Leesburg is here to help! Twice a year, the Leesburg Department of Public Works & Capital
Projects hosts free community document shredding events.
The next shredding event will be on Saturday, June 16, 2018, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at
Tuscarora High School, located at 801 North King Street in Leesburg. At a typical event, nearly
10,000 pounds of documents will be shredded on-site by mobile shredding units and then
recycled. If the shredding trucks fill before 1:00 p.m., the event may end early, so residents are
encouraged to arrive no later than 12:00 p.m.
Residents (no businesses, please) may bring up to three (3) boxes or bags of documents, each
equivalent in size to a standard file storage box. For a list of items acceptable for shredding, as
well as tips on identity theft protection, please visit the Town website at
www.leesburgva.gov/shredevents.
