City Holds Paper Shredding and Electronics Recycling Event to Help Keep Rockdale Beautiful | New

During this free event, residents and business owners can safely dispose of and recycle old documents and electronic devices, regardless of their working condition. Participants can access Parker Road from Flat Shoals Road or from Iris Drive to Royal Drive and Commercial Drive to avoid traffic in the area.

A maximum of four bank boxes will be provided for each vehicle for paper shredding. Attendees must provide photo ID as proof of address in the county for shredding and recycling during the event.

Once the shredding truck is full, shredding services for the day will end, according to a press release from Keep Conyers-Rockdale Beautiful.
