Time to throw out old documents and prescription drugs because the Broward Sheriff’s Office will be holding a Shred-A-Thon and Operation Medicine Cabinet event in North Lauderdale.

The Shred-A-Thon provides residents with a safe way to dispose of their personal documents, check stubs, credit card offers, receipts, and any other paperwork that contain sensitive information will be accepted.

The service is free of charge, and there is a limit of five boxes per person. Just drive up in your car, and your items will be safely destroyed.

Residents can securely dispose of unused, unwanted, or expired medications; however, needles and sharp objects will not be collected. Residents who turn in prescription drugs will receive a $5 gift card while supplies last.

Documents for shredding will also be collected. A maximum of two boxes per vehicle is allowed, and each box can be no larger than 16 inches in length, 12 inches in width, and 12 inches in height.

Residents from Tamarac, Coral Springs, Lauderhill, and Broward County are welcome to participate.

The Shred-A-Thon will be held on September 25, 2021, at North Lauderdale City Hall 701 S.W. 71st Ave, from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
