It’s that time of the year again to gather all your unwanted documents and expired medications. Protect yourself by bringing sensitive, outdated information to this one-day shredding event.

The Third Annual Shred Day will take place on Saturday, April 27, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Purcell Police Department.

The City of Purcell is hosting the event for citizens looking for a safe and efficient way to dispose of unwanted documents and prescription drugs for free.

Citizens are allowed to bring up to five boxes of documents to be shredded. All documents must be free of binder clips. This event was created to provide a free and easy way to properly dispose of unwanted documents containing personal information.

In addition to document shredding, the City of Purcell will be present to take back expired or unwanted medications. Items not accepted include needles, syringes, liquids, chemicals or inhalers.

All citizens should enter the police department from Grant Street and follow the signs to proceed to the southeast corner of the parking lot.

At that time, staff will approach your vehicle and gather all documents and unwanted medication. Please remain in your vehicle for a fast and easy process. When done, exit to Green Avenue.
