The Arizona Attorney General’s Office (AGO), the City of Phoenix, AARP Arizona, and Phoenix College are hosting a free Shred-a-Thon and Drug Take-Back community event this Saturday, October 29, in Phoenix.

This event allows for a drive thru drop experience. There is no need to leave your car!  The public can stay in their vehicle and is asked to place documents requiring shredding in the trunk of their car prior to arriving.

There is a five-box max limit for shredded documents.

Examples of items not accepted (but not limited to): binders, binder clips, electronics, inhalers, lotions or liquids, aerosols, needles, and hydrogen peroxide.

When:
Saturday, October 29
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Where:
Phoenix College
1202 W. Thomas Road
Phoenix, AZ 85013

In addition, this site will allow for residents to properly dispose of old prescription drugs. The effort is key to keeping opioids and other dangerous medications out of the hands of youth and reducing the risks of abuse.

If there are any questions regarding this event, please contact AGO Community Outreach at (602) 542-2123 or at [email protected].
