Orlando, FL – Central Florida residents can safely dispose of old documents containing personal information during a free Shred-A-Thon hosted by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday, November 8, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at University High School, located at 2450 Cougar Way, Orlando.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the event—titled “Shred the Word”—is part of a community outreach effort to help prevent identity theft and promote secure document disposal. Attendees can bring personal papers such as bank statements, tax documents, and other sensitive materials for on-site shredding.
The event is drive-thru only, and participants are asked to place items in their trunk for quick, contactless service. No registration is required, and shredding will continue until noon or until the truck reaches capacity.
Partnering with LTS Document Management, deputies will also offer prescription drug disposal at the site, providing a safe way to clear out expired or unused medications.
Residents across Orange County and the greater Orlando area are encouraged to take advantage of the event to securely clean out old files before the year ends.
