Community Shredding Events
Community Shredding Events are provided by The Lorain County Board of Commissioners, free of charge to residents of Lorain County and the City of Vermilion.
Communities may request to host a shredding event for their residents throughout the year. Please note that community shredding events are for residents only. Businesses, organizations, etc. are not eligible to participate, but are always welcome to bring materials to be shredded to the Lorain County Collection Center during operating hours or by appointment (depending on volume).
The events are hosted on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
Please note that events may end prior to 12:00 PM based on participation and volume.
A representative from the community’s administration interested in hosting a shredding event needs to contact Brad Moore via email to discuss dates available and complete an event request application.
The administration for the community hosting the shredding event is responsible for the advertising and promotion of the event to the residents of their community.
