APRIL 25th & OCTOBER 10th
Clark Middle School Parking Lot
8915 W 93rd Avenue
St. John, IN
9 AM – 11 AM

• No need to remove staples or paper clips.
• Team members will be on-site to help with heavy boxes.
• Park and watch spots will be available if you’d like to see your documents shredded.
• Two shredding trucks will be on-site to keep things moving.
• We cannot dispose of any boxes, bags, bins, etc.

A quick tip for planning your visit: 9:00 AM is usually our busiest time, and lines can back up through the parking lot. Things tend to move much faster after 10:00 AM, so arriving a little later may mean a shorter wait. We can’t wait to see you there!
