The King Farm Citizens Assembly is hosting the annual drive through free Shred It event tomorrow, Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. behind the Saddle Ridge Community Center parking lot on Thompson Dairy Way. This will be the only Shred-It event held this year.
Drive through and let King Farm staff remove your bags/boxes from your vehicle. There is no limit to the number of bags or boxes you can bring to shred. Please remove all binder clips and plastic materials from your shredding items. Please refrain from bringing bags of common household trash. The Shred-It event is for PAPER items only.
To make the car lines move more quickly, residents are encouraged to stay in their cars, place their shred items in trash bags so that it may be easier thrown into the shredder. If you bring your items in recycled bags or boxes which you would like returned, there may be a wait time. For more information e-mail activities@kingfarm.org.
